You are right. There is no material difference. Sooooo....the logical explanation is that the foreign ban was just to get the nose of the camel into the tent. It set a precident. They will go for the domestic military style semi-autos when they can.

Sounds like Bush wouldn't object either...unless it was bad for the economy of course.
