While the eight rifles and four hand guns were registered, some were modified with accessories such as scopes, lights and a tripod which might make them restricted or prohibited weapons, Fossum said.

"... after all, we can't have just anybody being able to see their target, positively identify it, especially under conditions of darkness or at a distance, and/or be able to hold the gun steady enough to be able to hit that target."

Wonder what they’d make of my Enfield SMLE No1 MkIII 2a with a nice scope on it? Tack driver, that one. Thanks to Appleseed, using a scope is almost like cheating. Almost.
