There is something very wrong with the way these rifles have been labelled as prohibs... simply because they sort of look like an AK. (I don't even know why I posted it here in the Black and Green Rifle Forum). The Dragunov was not designed as an assault rifle and never meant to be full auto. It is just a semi auto(something like an M-21), meant to fire a few(accurate) shots in a semi auto mode, using an ancient round(7.62x54R), making it more like a hunting rifle. It has a long barrel, which makes it impossible to conceal(if anyone was stupid enough to try), way longer than 18.5 inches. Not exactly a gangsters first choice in a drive by shooting...
I understand the "evil" AK might raise some pulses, same with other assault rifle like the FN, AR-18, Galil, etc...if you look at it from a Lieberal point of view...
But what is wrong with a nice semi auto, long barreled, heavy hunting rifle using an old 1890s rifle round? Is there something that I am missing here? Is there a way this can be taken off the prohibited list and reinstated as a non-restricted. It may just be wishfull thinking, but I am making good sense...and NO, I don't hate the Liberals, they are people too, who just made a few bad decisions...in our(gun owners) opinion.
