Notice of Supplemental Authority

Mr. Young, submits Annex A,J oint Service Combat Shotgun Program, W. Hays

Parks, Special Assistant for Law of War Matters, Office of the Judge Advocate

General, U.S. Army, Washington, D.C. to show short barrel shotguns are

protected. As United States v. Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939) merely holds it is not

within the judicial notice short barrel shotguns are protected arm Mr. Young

submits. By ca. 1673 the blunderbuss was recognized in English military circles

as very fit for doing great execution in a crowd, to make good narrow passage,

door of a house, stair-case; or in boarding a ship Admirably suited to its varied

tasks, the blunderbuss in its time can be compared to the legendary sawed-off

shotgun (M.L. Brown, Firearms in Colonial America 1492-1792, 143 (1980).

In a letter to the Board of War George Washington wrote on April 4, 1779: It

appears to me that Light Blunderbusses on account of the quantity of shot they will

carry, will be preferable to Carbines, for Dragoons, as the Carbines only carry a

single ball especially in case of close action. In a letter to Major General Robert

Howe, General Washington wrote on June 11, 1781: I am this moment favored

with yours of the same date, together with the Report of the Board of Officers,

appointed to inspect Provisions. If there are any Blunderbusses and Swivels, I have

no objection that Captain Pray should be furnished with them. The short barreled

shotgun has been utilized in all wars, including the modern day Iraq and

Afghanistan. The M203 has a length of 15 inches, a barrel length of 12 inches and

fires M576 (Buckshot) which contains twenty 24-grain metal pellets. The

XM576/XM576E1 was standardized to become the M576. Normal dispersion

pattern of the M576 will put 13 of 20 pellets in a 1.5 meter circle at 40 meters. US

Army Technical Manual TM 43-0001-28 Ammunition Data Sheets page 6-33.

HRS 134-8 complete ban on them cannot survive strict scrutiny. Accordingly, it

must be struck down along with 134-8 unconstitutional ban on short barrel rifles

and assault pistols.

Respectfully submitted this 27th day of March, 2013
