I typically wouldn't have a problem with that rationale, but as alot of people have CHINESE AK's, that arguement doesn't hold water.

The CETME was developed in Spain by a herm, and then licensed for manufacture by the Germans. Same rifle without the pain in the arse rear elevation turret and the $2000 HK stamp in the steel.
