Please point out any. I know there are models that fit European standards instead of North American, but they aren't arbitrarily banned because "they look scary."

Well not, I assumed you were not literally meaning they are banned because they "look scary"... I assumed a more rational interpretation like they "do not meet safety standards and/or do not meet environmental standards"

I will not find examples to fit your strawman

It's not a strawman. I am all for gun safety, but the rifles that have been recently "prohibited" are simply models that "look scary" while their sporterized counterparts have had their classification unchanged.

Ok I guess it's time to be pedantic.

Please show me the part of the legislation that says the weapons are banned due to the fear their appearance may induce.

Or, are you willing to admit this is just your interpretation of a likely imperfect list the government came up with?
