I’m always shocked that these somehow slipped past the ban. I would have thought the government would have loved to say “we got AK-47 variants off the streets.”

I asked this question here about a year ago. It turns out that the Valmet would be automatically banned as an AK-variant, but it is exempted by name in the Firearm Act. Any OIC that would try to ban them right now would do nothing because of that law.

I wonder if we'll see this the exemption removed by an amendment now that there's a majority. I hope not, because they're sweet-as rifles.
