Today I was at a gunshop and I narrowed down what I wanted to buy between a nice, new CETME, and a new Romanian AK-74. While I eventually went with the CETME, I will probably buy the AK74 at some point in the future, but I started to think about the the two rifles and the larger picture with modern military style rifles available to us here in the 50 states (well, perhaps 47 or so states). It seems that the vast bulk of battle rifles in this country are generally AR, AK, FAL, SKS, and some other variations on those themes, but really not a whole hell of a lot else.
Well, it is true that there is a whole vast universive of weapons out there, but class III weapons hardly exist in the same world as us peasants who pay $30,000 for our cars, not our guns.
Now that the AWB is dead, I'm hoping that more gun owners start to think about new things out there; I'm really hoping people start to get excited about the rumors about FN and HK building plants in this country so that maybe they would actually do so, and we could have some new styles in the stream of sport shooters in this country (Yes! Believe it or not Sir or Madame, there is more to shooting than hunting shotguns and .22 rifles) which would hopefully generate steam that people would write their congress men and women and hopefully kill some of the idiototic import bans that are keeping an AMAZING flow of European and Asian rifles coming here.
Well, maybe it is all a pipe dream, but we should all make a little noise and maybe DSA will make that AUG clone they said they are not, maybe FN will build that factory, and maybe, JUST MAYBE, the average Joe and Jane out there will see that rifle sports can be great fun without shooting deer.
