I'd have one.

It'll never happen, for no logical reason of course.
But if by some miracle (years from now) it did, I would most definitely purchase one.
A dream for lefties.
Click, Bang.
I would like to hold one, I wouldn't buy this unheld, but I am interested.
You know, I'm going to plant an idea for any budget conscious government-type/politician who may come across this:
We can save a bunch of money on the RCMP/government department that does these classifications by downsizing/eliminating them. We can just use U.S. BATF standards of approval and save our lab guys the time and expense (and backlog). This will also be good for business and consumers. One can be sure that prior to importation, the BATF is pretty convinced that a firearm like the said Beretta cannot be made full auto (despite the fact that there are many more gunsmiths in the US). So, why do we need the redundancy in keeping our firearms experts backlogged with classifications?
If it's safe enough for the US commercial market, it's "safe" enough here....
BATF classification would make a lot of our guns schedule 2 (?) requiring a tax stamp in the US, and it might be a no go up here. This is why the US registers some rifle-ish guns as pistols.
acyrologiaphobia – the feer of the incorrect use of english?
The BATFE are not always the brightest bulbs on the tree, either.

In Canada the Mare's Leg is a non-restricted rifle. In the States it is a "restricted" handgun.
Not everything the Americans do would be good for Canadians.
^^^okay, okay...I didn't mean adopting U.S. laws/regulations. Just saying that if something has been available down there for months/years, there's no need for a lengthy classification process up here. The commercial Beretta sold there would be the same one sold here.
