This is very good for us:
What the Brady Bunch and the Gun hatin Mayors missed is going to make them a little upset:
This law has effectively killed the Jolly Pirate's attempt to ban the importation of Saiga Shotguns and other tactical Shotguns. through the abuse of the "sporting purpose” requirement and the Jolly Pirate's agency rulemaking powers.
Have a look at what was tucked into the “Fiscal Year 2012 Agriculture, Commerce/Justice/Science (CJS) and Transportation/Housing/Urban Development (THUD) Appropriations bills”. On November 18, 2011, this was passed by Congress, and signed into law by the President Obama.
The law reads as follows:
The Jolly Pirates used the “Shotgun Study” to support its position that “military shotguns, or shotguns with common military features that are unsuitable for traditional shotgun sports” should be banned from import into the United States. The study also refused to consider IDPS, IPSC and 3 Gun shooting as a sport. The Jolly Pirates stuck their heads in the sand regarding the maturing uses of shotguns in the shooting sports and threatened all of us.
So it looks like a small victory for now.

The law reads as follows:
SEC. 541. None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to pay the salaries or expenses of personnel to deny, or fail to act on, an application for the importation of any model of shotgun if–
(1) all other requirements of law with respect to the proposed importation are met; and
(2) no application for the importation of such model of shotgun, in the same configuration, had been denied by the Attorney General prior to January 1, 2011, on the basis that the shotgun was not particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes.
The amazing thing is that our Congress actually acted on our concerns regarding the Jolly Pirate's January 27, 2011 “Study on the Importability of Certain Shotguns.” (1) all other requirements of law with respect to the proposed importation are met; and
(2) no application for the importation of such model of shotgun, in the same configuration, had been denied by the Attorney General prior to January 1, 2011, on the basis that the shotgun was not particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes.
