In Finland, military-style semiautomatic rifles, or reservist rifles (reservil�iskiv��ri) as they are called in Finland, are popular among reservists who actively take part in volunteer defence training. The law allowing possession of reservist rifles for such purposes was approved in 1998. Popular weapons are AR-15 and semiautomatic variants of AK-47 and Finnish RKs, such as RK-92S and a semiautomatic variant of RK-76.
In other countries, semi-automatic rifles are allowed with certain restrictions, i.e. that the rifle not be chambered in a military caliber.

National Review: Did Kagan Compare the NRA with the KKK?
It has become clear that Elena Kagan, Obama’s most recent Supreme Court nominee, is no friend of gun rights, to say the least. While clerking for Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall in 1987, she wrote the judge that she was “not sympathetic” to a Second Amendment–based challenge to the D.C. gun ban. While serving in the Clinton administration, she wrote a memo that “paved the way for an executive order banning dozens of semiautomatic weapons,” according to the L.A. Times. And NATIONAL REVIEW has learned that in 1996, Kagan apparently tied the NRA to the KKK — yes, the KKK — while debating the Clinton administration’s position on a bill.
