Obviously this is a cope gun but the idea of a spring assisted lever action seems weird to me

Your anger seems misplaced. Shouldn't you be angry at the RCMP, who quietly banned the R9 on a Sunday, without telling anyone? Any Canadian buying a firearm, any firearm, should have an idea that it could literally be banned tomorrow, at the stroke of a pen.

Sterling didn’t submit the proper paperwork to the RCMP before selling it.

The RCMP classified the R9 as a variant of a 180B, and since one is a direct blowback gun, and the other is a DI gas gun, clearly the RCMP Firearms lab are incompetent, or lying boobs. It has nothing to do with "proper paperwork", which was in fact submitted, and 100% do to with the RCMP doing what their Liberal masters tell them to.

Maybe but Sterling and JR are still bunch of pricks for about 25 other reasons so who cares little guy.
