Well, mention guns and everybody goes nuts. Stating that pistol grip shotguns 
are outlawed, especially by the 1968 gun control act which primarily limited 
mail order sales of firearms, is as accurate as saying all Lecias are made of 
cream cheese.
 
Pistol grip shotguns are NOT outlawed. They are still legally available at 
gun shops in Colorado.
