Had a Streetsweeper, around early 90s, there was another similar, might have been called a "Striker". Think they were all 12 ga.

They had a cylinder like a revolver, but it was BIG! Trigger pull rotated the cylinder (drum) and fired double-action like. All of a sudden Clinton's Treasury Secretary, Lloyd Bentsen, came on National T-V, holding a Streetsweeper, saying they were the weapon of choice of street gangs, and therefore the gov't. was declaring them a "destructive device", and anyone having one suddenly became a criminal!

Such is the un-Constitutional and illegal way in which our leaders have chosen to operate.

Thats hillarious. First there arent many of those around, and second they arent free. Last I checked they were well over a grand.

Are they legal or not?

"Note" Not left-hander friendly weapons ! They will burn all the hair off your right arm.LOL

THey are legal if you pay for a AOW.

My purpose of the thread was, to show that banning one particular firearm by calling it by some illegal name, even though un-Constitutional as hell, the move flies! And, with of all things, a SHOTGUN!

Now, why not pick another, if you were a gun-grabbing political leader in high position?

And another? And so on. See, no public uproar followed the banning of the Streetsweeper; in fact, lots of people seemed to agree the guns were "evil".

Has anyone EVER seen a gang member carrying one of these things?

never seen a gangbanger carry a shotgun. mostly just "pistols" turned sideways. I think my Benelli will shoot faster than the sweeper and put a tube extender and wah-lah same # of rnds.

Saw a 410/45 called a street sweeper on gunbroker for $2,000 had the drum like the 12s but not a class III weapon.

That is certainly one reason we should all reframe from referencing our AKs, SKSs, and ARs as "ASSAULT WEAPONS" - they are not assault weapons and that buzz word does not help us in the eyes of public opinion ... they are "sporting guns."

True, wish people in marketing would listen, instead many use these buz words to hype their product.
