[QUOTE="VladdDImpaler, post: 1801966, member: 20141"] The study is actually an interesting read and can still be found on the ATF website, though I don't believe they are still excepting comments. The study was to determine what the definition of a sporting shotgun/sporting shotgun accessory is today due to changes in manufacturing and the adaptation of certain tactical accessories for sporting purposes (My understanding is that under the Gun Control Act of 1968, firearms and accessories can only be imported for civy use if they are for sport or collecting, please correct me if I got that wrong). They asked for comments because a portion of the study reads as follows: For once, the ATF recognized during one of their studies that they don't know everything about shooting sports and needed to defer to people who actually are in the loop. (DUH! Ya think boys?) As always though, the study does come off incredibly biased against the "sportman". They stated that for the purpose of this study, only hunting, skeet, and trap would be considered "sports". The ATF states that 3-gun and similar events were not viewed as a sports for purpose of determining what a sporting shotgun is (convenient) and that another study should be done to determine if it such events are in fact sports (also convenient).
