Gun questions

I have never heard of a 'bump stock' until the Las Vegas shootings. Most, if not everyone, that I talked to have also never knew such a thing existed. Well, here is another thing that the so-called "gun experts" are probably not aware of: A sawed-off shotgun is highly illegal. No issue with that. How many anti-gun activists are aware that a pistol with a 4-inch-long barrel can be purchased legally that can fire shotgun shells? Taurus produces and sells "The Judge," which is capable of shooting various calibers, including shotgun shells. Will this, or should this gun be banned along with the bump stock? Sawed-off shotguns are illegal, but a pistol with 4-inch barrel that shoots the same round is OK? Another fly in the ointment?
