Norinco 84-S Why Prohibited?
- Thread starter kvhancock

The Oka Crisis made the government s**t in its diaper so it took away all military in appearance firearms and neutered all our magazines, the poly tech shooting was just used as the justification.
This is just my opinion of course.
It's not even that realistic, after Garbi did his thing and the politicians decided that a knee jerk reaction was in order, some junior assistant ministerial bedsheet went to 7/11 and purchased a copy of the "Gun Digest book of assault weapons". The junior assistant sword swallower then went through said book with slightly more senior sword swallowers and marked the scary looking guns with an X in the bottom corner of each page. The guns that were regarded as scary looking became Prohib 12x, with a couple of exceptions. The exceptions were prohibited outright - for confiscation only. These firearms included the Steyr AUG, Feather Arms AT series, Franchi Spas-12 shotgun, and those nifty little pistols with the 50 round drum mags, and a couple of others. A court case allowed the few remaining Steyr owners (firearms section was going nuts trying to get those out of people's hands, even sent guys out to shops to find out who'd bought them) to get their very expensive rifles back - the others were destroyed. Since that particular Gun Digest didn't have the Vz58 in it it was missed. It did of course have the AK, so.....
There are no good answers as to what stuff was prohibited. There are stickied threads in the Legalese section that go over what's restricted and prohibited. It doesn't really matter why at this point, the answer is we had a government full of retards and a liberal media stirring up a frenzy demanding a knee-jerk response.
They don't really look like AK's when done like that. Best just to enjoy those rifles for what they are. If you really want an AK, cough up the $ for a Valmet or move on.
You can always take a CZ-858 or SKS and weld up some stuff, buy AK wood and make it look like a AK-47, lots of work but people do it.
