First the Vintorez (restricted due to barrel length) and now this. I guess there are still some sane people in the RCMP.

Unfortunately that doesn't mean its immune to future bans, as the government can override RCMP's NR decision at the stroke of a pen. For example, when the GSG-16 was explicitly deemed not a MP5 and therefore NR by the RCMP, they Liberals just added a paragraph in the OIC to name-ban it instead.

I love seeing people bring us new stuff, it's a struggle back and forth between us and the government, I just worry if the government thinks "oh there's enough semi autos back on the market, we need a new ban", then we may end up seeing ALL options get scooped up again. I'm going to remain optimistic and think this will not happen, but there's a little voice in the back of my head saying it might. It should not be this way, it's broken as fuck that they've made us all, lawful, tax paying working folks afraid of attracting the hammer of government for pursuing lawful activities, but that fear does still exist, for me at least.

I still would love to see this show up and be an option, I just worry it'll become the next Poly poster child for bans and risk attracting more attention to our limited options, but I do refuse to let them kill this hobby of ours.
