As long as they were headed to dealers for resale, I don't have a problem with it. Most such imports are stripped for parts and rebuilt on U.S. manufactured receivers. That ensures a good serial number and conformance with U.S. law. It also pretty much eliminates making anything other than a standard semi-auto rifle. The lefty media is doing everything possible to push a renewal of the "assault weapons" ban.
I couldn't believe the hyperventilation over having bayonets affixed. Has there been a rash of drive by bayonetings lately? Has anyone used a bayonet affixed to a rifle to commit a crime? I haven't heard of any cases.
