I do not believe we are an endangered or threatened species as shotgun shooting people. But we are a declining herd in terms of size and a herd which is moving from wild game hunting with target and preserve on the side to one that primarily target shoots, preserve hunts, then to wild birds last.

I do not see the ability to own double barrels as truly threatened in the next generation or so, except in exceptional silly parts of the Northeast and I even doubt that.

The threats I see are directed against hunting, huntable populations of birds, and are more advanced auto's

That said if we do not hold the line hard they will get to our guns one day
