Now I understand, this is from a 2003 version of a new bill to extend the AWB. I'm sure one of the reasons it didn't pass because the definition of pistol grip (in that bill) is so vague as to include all grips, when it's clear they meant true one handed grips. Kerry probably hadn't even read the thing.

It's very common for this to happen, they work on the wording then vote again. The 2004 version tried to pass the same bill without changes to any wording.

The real issue is, did Kerry intent to ban this same shotgun with the proposed bill? I don't believe this for a second.
