The text of the regulation is made up of un-moveable words.
The executive branch may look the other way at their own pleasure, but the text is the text.
Yes, you can claim that "they don't intend to target shotguns", but the TEXT is clearly there whether it is intended or unintended. We can argue to the cows come home and try to justify to ourselves whether it is or it is not.
The fact is simple. The text is there. Anytime, any day, they can go after anyone by the book. They do not have to justify to YOU, no matter how much you justify to yourself. When that happens, the judge will make the call.
But the regulation clearly said anything over 20mm. It is the undeniable fact.
