    You seriously believe Obama's bureaucrats running ATF are motivated by trying to support the American firearms industry and promote it?

    Been paying attention to what Holder was doing with the banks just before he left regarding having firearms industry clients?
    Rights, freedoms, and liberty regularly demand bloodshed as the price for their existence. Usually it is only soldiers who are willing to pay that price. Fortunately, soldiers willingly bleed enough to pay the price for all.

    There are other ways and believe there are already precedence set such as SKS are allowed to be imported if there are 4 parts produced in USA so 4 parts have to be exchanged and as you said there are a lot of the MH made in US.
    It may not be worth the bother but it could help our gun industry.

    Patent the design and subcontract the manufacturing to a USA company.
    Maybe even have one of have big gun companies brand it under thier own name. That's where the money will be made.

    When our guns want to access the us market, this type of barrier to trade is a norm now. But , when theirs are coming here the lab suddenly becomes more permissive. Joke is on us.

    What market? It is legal to hunt with AR's down there and there ar many to choose from depending on your needs.

    It is only here that a semi auto AR looking rifle with NR status has appeal and can command a steep price because of rarity.
    If it's either loud, obnoxious, fast, hated by the general population or any combination of these, I OWN IT!!

    There are still plenty of US customers who own semi-auto rifles other than ARs. Tavors, Sig 550 series, AKs, ZV-58s, etc. I love ARs and all, but not to the exclusion of other things.
    This is bad news. BATFE is just as bad as the RCMP when it comes to being highly politicized and hostile to gun ownership by the citizenry. Having access to the US market would have let ATRS grow, and would have brought prices down for us Canadians (economy of scale).

    Firearms producers in the USA have a very strong lobby in government, this is so archaic.

    That's too bad. I had high hopes for you guys in the US market. It's sad with all the free information available being the internet age and all, firearms are still so misrepresented and badly politicized.
