They say military but what they're actually looking at is anything resembling a 'tactical' rifle.

Paint one black and mount a picatinny rail on it and they probably would take it from you :roll:

Don't more to WA if you want to keep that :problem:

People with the Savage 110BA are getting it confiscated here lately because of the look.

So pink purple and green are far more acceptable?

Does that mean they are discriminating by colour?

Discriminating by colour and body shape would be an accurate statement.
