Under the National Firearms Act (NFA) it is illegal for a private citizen to possess a sawed-off modern smokeless powder shotgun (a barrel length less than 18 in. or 46 cm and an overall length less than 26 inches) without a tax-stamped permit from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which requires a background check and a $200.00 fee for every transfer. However, if the weapon was manufactured by a licensed builder, with a short barrel and no stock, the transfer fee is $5.

Why did they make the sod off shotgun?
I guess you mean 'Sawed-off' or 'Sawn-off'. Shotguns are an extremely powerful weapon at close quarters but because they are so long, they are a bit difficult to use in small spaces. The butt was sawn off to resemble a pirates pistol grip and the barrel(s) was sawn off to a point usually immediately in front of where the wooden grip finishes. This made it a very useful weapon at close quarters. It is highly illegal to do this.
