So why are they doing it with the Type-97's and yet the Tavors are already here and out on the marketplace with narry an eyebrow raised? What was the difference to the RCMP/CBSA?
The RCMP firearms lab considers the AR108B2, XCR, SA PE-90, Tavor and any other unrestricted black rifle as a 'loophole' in the law that they seek to close. They have stated as much to the house committee on public safety (they actually besmirched Wolverine supplies by name in doing so).
