" If i understand it correctly any shot gun that holds 5 rounds or less is safe unless they can be made or fitted with a mag tube extension that makes them capable of holding more."
That would be incorrect. The bill states:
11 " Semiautomatic assault weapon" does not include:
21 (C) any semiautomatic shotgun that cannot hold more
22 than 5 rounds of ammunition in a fixed or detachable
23 magazine.
It doesn' t say, " or that can be made to hold..." . Basically, leave the mag tube alone and it' s not included. Put an extended tube on it and it meets the definition of " assault weapon" .
As a side note, contrary to what the ISRA says, pump shotguns and muzzleloaders are NOT included...
13 (i) is manually operated by bolt, pump, lever
14 or slide action;
7 (4) " Antique firearm" means:
8 (A) any firearm, including any firearm with a
9 matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of
10 ignition system, manufactured in or before 1898, or
11 (B) any replica of any firearm described in
12 subparagraph

Mike, I agree with Sven here. I also agree with you in the respect that this is nothing short of a gun-grab foot in the door. Personally, I would like to see both the NRA and the ISRA stick to the facts and stop making them up as they go along. It makes their credibility worth poop.
