Because it is a rifled barrel, and thus not a shotgun.

The 28 gauge has a bore bigger than .50 caliber, which gets into the realm of regulated firearms and the reason the BATFE said "NO".

They might be able to do a 500 S&W/ 32 gage, but ammo would be a bad deal

Take Twitter for what it's worth though.
