Valmet : Where in God's name are they all hiding

I have said it before (perhaps even in this thread, lol, I didn't check) but have no hesitation in saying it again.

The Valmet is perhaps the prime example of Lieberal hypocrisy in its gun control stupor, and should be exposed for everyone to see again, again, and again.

Why so much? Did they fall into some sort of Liberal lunacy void and they forgot to include them with the other 2500 models that make things move in their underpants?
Is the Valmet in .308 Non-restricted still?

Well, aren't you in for a surprise... (it is)

So, AR platform - prohibited. AK - non-restricted :p (insert joke about Canada slipping into communism)

Surprised in all these years no one has publicly question (journalists) and pressed for an explanation. Would make for excellent dialogue

M'kaaaay...so next question. Why aren't we swimming in Valmets like we are SKS's? The Canadian market should be flooded with these things. I'd love a .308 battle rifle...for Moose. ;)

They may not have been able to get the Valmet using their OIC abuse, with it specifically listed the way it is

This was not really an obstacle, and it is considerably more likely that the Valmet has been excluded because at one time it was supplied to indigenous communities in the North as a hunting rifle (which was noted in the FRT until that was scrubbed.)

As others have pointed out, production numbers were never as high and prices were never anywhere close to being as low as the SKS.

Liberal gun policy is likely driven by Hollywood movies and firearms special effects... When a guy gets shot with an AR, he's flung back eight feet... That's why they think ARs are so "powerful". You can't hunt deer with an AR because it'll destroy the meat...

Same thing with suppressors/moderators. In Europe, they're considered PPE. In Hollywierd, these are used by assassins and gangsters. (Often on revolvers, but I digress)

The only logic is that there is none. It's like trying to contemplate nothingness... The brain can't comprehend what doesn't exist.

The logic is that their knowledge comes from movies, standard rounds through a suppressor don’t sound like what most people think
