Same old Brands & Germany Russia Hating

Ok, Redleg, I may have the nomenclature mixed up, no need to be pedantic as I am sure my meaning was understood. Let's say I like the semi-automatic version of the G-3 rifle (the HK-91) and the Sako 95 semi-automatic version.
Nothing wrong with the VEPR rifles but again they are singled out as bad semi-automatics. But the Hk-91 would be the rifle I would like to buy most.
So I agree that there are more rifles added each year but just not the ones I would like to buy. Nothing anyone need be offended by, I am just saying what I like and what I do not. But there is a bias against these two rifles and anything that is a variant of them. I was simply saying that it is my opinion that because these rifles hailed from a former enemy nation they are banned and that the attitude towards these countries has not changed much in the minds of the older politicians,hence tha prohibited status for only semi-automatics.

Hey, Boer seun,
The Kalashnikov was copied by the Finns under licence by Valmet. Valmet and Sako made the Sako95. The Israeli's bought Valmet rifle-making machine tools from Valmet to make the Galil rifle. The South Africans bought the plans for the Galil and made it under licence.
Boer means Afrikaner but what about seun?

Sorry if it is coming off as pedantic, but your argument is a little hard to follow, maybe because you are trying too hard to make the government's position on these guns rational.
They went through a picture book and labelled anything they saw and disliked as prohibited. Simple as that. They could care less where they came from, who made them, how effective they were or how popular they were. If they looked "evil" they were banned. Guns that have been produced since (as long as they were not advertised as derivatives of "evil guns") are designated based on physical characteristics.
I suppose red poppies look evil too. They remind people how these soldiers actually died and what was spilled when the same happened. Now we are supposed to think only about peace when we see a white poppy not about the dead men and their sacrifices.
Same logic as playing the firearm classification game. Those government people must surely be mad, bi-polar and mannic-depressive. We must be simply weak for letting these people get away with what they visit upon us.
