I get what they are saying but it's a stupid argument if you think about it for more than a couple of minutes.
Yes the alpha can easily be cut down but so can any other rifle or shot gun, it's just that the Alpha looks likes a pistol and there for is more dangerous.
The real issue is the new gun laws, for one reason or another people will be trying to find an alternative to their old AR15, whether it be a Remington 7600, Alpha carbine, or straight pull AR15.
If the idiots in charge had just done the sensible thing and kept the E category, people would have a path to owning the tools the want/need and even would've registered the bloody things!
What we really need is a Government that actually understands what guns people use and why they use them, puts in some reasonable legislation, and then ignores media pressure from stupid groups like GCNZ.
If the Government can just ignore these noisy people for the 24hr news cycle they'll crawl back into their hole.
