Shotgun question

[Seminoleconfederate]

Is there some kind of legal problem with street-sweeper shotguns? Bc i nvr see any for sale, and if theyre not legal unless theyre grandfathered, is it that stupid crap the government made up about them not having "sporting purpose" . I think a street sweeper, SPAS12 and SPAS15 would b great for 3 gun, from the kind of guns i see on the commercials for 3 gun shows.

They were declared by the ATF to be classified as Destructive Devices years ago and now require NFA registration for possession.

What exactly is a street sweeper by definition? What makes them any different than any other tactical style shotgun?

The street sweeper looks scary, thus it must be an evil tool of innocent destruction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armsel_Striker

Spas12's and junk are free and clear as far as I know. Picked mine up at a gunshow.

Thanx two for flinching, now i would kinda like to know what idiot imagined up that the second amendment means guns with sporting purpose. 😑

The same people who say it was meant to ensure we could own muskets.

I remember when you could by a street sweeper for nothing. They are cool toys.

I just went a followed that link to a picture of said weapon. I shuttered with fear at it furious and evil appearance.

Looks like a fancy plunger.

Like Biggs said, they're fun toys, but it would be the last thing I'd want to grab when shtf lol. It's like have one thirty round mag for an AR at the range. a few minutes to load for a few seconds of fun.
