Too bad. It’s a great firearm.
At. 3:35 AM, CDT this morning (Sunday),there was a mass shooting of 5 teenagers in the North Lawndale section of Chicago.
Mayor Groot and the DA, Crimesha,, don’t care. Zip, nada, none for news coverage.
Gun control is not about safety or reducing crime. It is purely political and designed to turn citizens into subjects.
At times, it can be hazardous to be around a FNG...

Been wondering where you’ve been.
It is indeed. Every Canadian boy wants to have one to go along with their Lee Enfield.
But we can’t. :(
This is the comment I posted elsewhere about this despicable action by Trudeau and Blair...
Hoping to capitalize on a devastating tragedy, during a global pandemic, and with parliament shut down, irresponsible ideologues Trudeau and Blair have decided in true dictatorial fashion to skirt the democratic process and impose regulations to confiscate the legally-acquired property of Canada’s single most law-abiding segment of the populace.
Canadian gun owners don’t use these guns to commit crimes. Except in very rare cases, even the violent criminals don’t use these guns to commit crimes.
The losses to Canadian gun owners will be in the multi-millions. The effect on sport shooting (the single fastest growing sport in Canada currently) will be chilling. The harm to sporting businesses and gun stores will be devastating. The damage to the economy will be immense.
And the insult to civil rights and freedoms will be egregious.
And this ban will do absolutely nothing to reduce crime or prevent a similar tragedy. There is no credible research or evidence to support this draconian policy whatsoever.
They don’t care about that. They lie to you about that, repeatedly. They don’t go after the real criminals.
So, you have to ask yourself, what is their REAL reason for wanting to ban over 1500 different firearms and trample the basic civil liberties of a free and democratic populace?
(Yes, it’s a rhetorical question.)
My favorite is the Aussie L1A1. Had one about 15 years ago and loved it. Wish I had never sold it.
Wish I could say, "building FALs", but those parts kits dried up back when we were new to Free Republic. I still like the old FN advertising slogan (which may be even more true today ;^):
"FAL - The Free World's Right Arm"
