I’m not disputing this, but I don’t understand how. Please explain?
Federal code section 18 USC 921 (4)(B) defines destructive device as:
(B) any type of weapon (other than a shotgun or a shotgun shell which the Attorney General finds is generally recognized as particularly suitable for sporting purposes) by whatever name known which will, or which may be readily converted to, expel a projectile by the action of an explosive or other propellant, and which has any barrel with a bore of more than one-half inch in diameter;
So all it takes is for an AG to determine a 12 gauge is not a sporting round.
:thumbs2:

It's not a big step to go from "nobody needs a 30 round magazine to hunt deer" to "nobody needs a 12ga to hunt ducks." How can the fudds disagree if the the government says a 16ga is more "sporting" than a 12ga? And in a few years, they can say a 20ga is more "sporting" than a 16ga. All without passing a single new gun control law.

Never forget every 12ga shotgun can become a destructive device without any new laws, and it's easier than bump stocks becoming machine guns.
