You can't import any sort of gun nor ammunition from China. Not rifles since 1993, nor any other sort of gun since 2003. NFA doesn't come into it because even single shot Norinco sporting shotguns are banned from import to America.
- MichaelZuo 4y agoThat is a bit odd to ban even sporting firearms. Which law is that?
- LarryMullins 4y agoVarious sanctions, initially justified because of some gangs/smuggling scandal, but really it's because Norinco is controlled by the PRC and allowing Americans do to business with Norinco is counter to American strategic interests. And I'm sure it doesn't hurt that such a ban is good for American manufacturers too. You don't hear much from the NRA complaining about this ban.
- MichaelZuo 4y agoThere are other associations and organizations who would desire higher availability of sporting firearms.
- post_break 4y agoI think it was sanctions. It also led to AK74, 47, and some very popular rifles go up in value due to import restrictions.
- sidewndr46 4y agoWhile you're correct, I was speaking broadly. You can't even import full-auto from Canada or Mexico, which we have very little trade restrictions with.
