I know that’s why they were originally spared in the 90s, but I somewhat doubt that it’s still the case nowadays.
It’s been 30 years, and those rifles have become stupidly valuable - how many of those things do you think are actually still being used for hunting by the bands? How much pushback would there actually be if those rifles have largely moved on to being range toys by people off the rez?
Fun fact I learned recently too, some of the treaties with some bands, also required the government to actually supply ammunition to the band as well. They no longer give physical ammunition anymore, but some bands actually still receive a cash payment annually from the gocenrment specifically for ammunition purchasing. Just bizarre.

If you buy this, you don't lose money, you make money.
Cuz you always end up selling it for more than you bought it.
