That is not what the ruling said at all.
The ruling simply states that pistol grip only shotguns are now in effect considered for 4473 as pistols since they do not meet the definition of a shotgun and cannot be purchased by someone under 21. That is it. They are still perfectly legal otherwise and do NOT require the NFA stamp.
ETA: To be clear, this arose from PGO shotguns that did not fit prior definitions. Because law states that those 18-21 may purchase shotguns and rifles and the PGO shotgun did not meet the definition of shotgun in that it was not intended to be fired from the shoulder, a new classification or clarification was needed (for whatever reason). Thus, just like AR receivers that could be built into either pistols or rifles, the PGO shotgun was reclassified so that those under 21 could not purchase them.
