This is absolutely ridiculous. At the very least they could've just moved it to restricted, what's the logic for this gun being any more dangerous than and AR-15? I'm guessing the same logic making a FAL more dangerous than a M14...

Its because they can "easily be converted to full automatic" firing mode. I don't think they ever released how they determine this, or what the process entails.

The issue was that it could be a variant of the named prohib sg550(stgw90)

god damn is this fucking bullshit for current owners.

Everyone is super pissed right now and calling for a boycott of TSE, but honestly a lot of people are at fault...

I really want to wait for more than just a FB post before jumping on the hate train.

More like why not all 3, TSE for being fuckwits, the RCMP for just being them, and the other importer who made the stupid decision to bring hackjob converted autos into the country hoping they wouldnt get caught.

We should focus the anger into a letter writing campaign.

Or write letters to the rcmp/gov and boycott the shooting edge
