I’d like to hear what ATF says about this shotgun. My guess: they will try to make it require a tax stamp, regardless of the letter of the law.
All restrictions on silencers should be repealed (along with most federal and state restrictions on our individual, God-given right to keep and bear arms).
I think he'll be OK.
It's not a device that "captures" the gases - it just bleeds them off through a ridiculously long barrel.
Even the knuckleheads at BATF&E should recognize that.
