Man Indicted For Having Unregistered Shotgun
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) ―

A Minnesota man has been indicted in federal court for allegedly having an unregistered 12-gauge shotgun, according to the Dept. of Justice.

Court documents say the gun was found near 27-year-old Willie Brown Jr. on Oct. 7, 2008. Officers said they found it during the search of a north Minneapolis home as part of a drug investigation.

The law requires the shotgun to be registered under its owner's name in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.

If Brown is convicted, he could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison. He made his first court appearance Thursday, according to the justice department.

The Minneapolis Police Department and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives worked together in the investigation.

By this rationale, my guess is that the better part of the members on this board are looking at some jail time.

There has GOT to be more to it than that..............

If not, we're all pretty well screwed.

It has to be a NFA shotgun. Too short in barrel or OAL. Eitherway it's crappy reporting.

ALL of my firearms disappeared about the same time as my alien abduction. God--I don't want to go through that again.

I don't own any guns. None at all. I'm just storing them for my buddy. Yeah, that's it. That's the ticket.

The NFRTR is indeed about NFA weapons, and likely this is an illegal SBS. (i.e. sawed-off)

BATFE doesn't usually get involved with routine criminal cases like this, but I'm guessing we may be in for a change in this, especially in gang-related cases. The Feds are getting more involved.
