They didn’t ban all of the VZ-58's, you can still get the 5.56 VZ-58.
I largely believe that the bans came from pressure from the anti-gun lobby(Probably as a FU for scraping the Long gun registry). I remember reading an article from 2011-2012, that the gun control lobby was putting pressure on the RCMP to ban gun that looked like "military assault rifles", because the RCMP had not prohibited anything since 1996 and had been prescribing "to many" semi-auto "Military assault weapons" as "Non-Restrictive or Restricted"(basically following what was outlined in the firearms act). Around the same time, they released a list of about 15-20 firearms they where going to look at(Probably a list that came from the anti-gun lobby). Its also interesting to note that they had two years to decide, and coincidentally did it after the long-gun registry was destroyed, either as a ploy to get it back, or give chance for the firearms to disappear and not have to buy them back or pure coincidence.
