This is the best summary I could come up with:


The RCMP has told owners to turn in what the force is calling fully automatic military surplus firearms after hundreds were misidentified and allowed into Canada for commercial sale.

"My main concern is that Canadians don't think that there's fully automatic military surplus firearms floating around Canada in the hands of licensed gun owners."

Tavor X95 firearms, assembled by IWI US, Inc., are purpose-built semi-automatic guns and are either non-restricted or restricted depending on barrel length, the Mounties say.

Blair Hagen, the association's executive vice-president, told The Canadian Press that the firearms organization is "assisting owners of this property."

The misidentification comes as the Senate studies Liberal gun-control legislation that includes a ban on assault-style firearms that would fall under a new technical definition.

"An effective pre-authorization process aimed at preventing misclassifications must include mandatory physical inspection by the RCMP before manufacturers can introduce a new model on the Canadian market," the letter said.
