"we arent coming for your hunting rifles or historical artifacts" -bans half of WW2 rifles. There's probably 600,000 SVT-40s in Canada. They were the SKS of the previous generation.

When I was 19 for $200 you could get an SVT-40 and 440 rounds of soviet ammunition, these sort of deals were on for years. Minimum wage was about $8 an hour at the time so $200 was a lot more money.
