Painful writing, if it was a comment I would flag it as trolling. The only reason is is restricted is because of it's name, it is one the more popular hunting rifles now for small game. In actual fact, the writer might consider that the bullet fired from this is much smaller and less deadly than your average hunting rifle. Even in the US all rifles including millions of AR's like this only account for 300 deaths in a year. the majority of murders are by handguns (heavily restricted) and related to gang activity (aka people already barred from owning guns legally) Why don't we spend our police resources on the fentayal crisis instead of legislation based on criteria like "scary looking" (including bayonet lugs as criteria used to classify it.)
