Wrong. Importing replica firearms using a BFL and failing to adhere to the Prescribed Purposes is an offence. Hell, it's exactly the reason why Will Wong was convicted and serving 2 years minus 1 day, and why many retailers closed down. The Prescribed Purposes are the only activities products imported through a BFL can be used for, and nothing else.
And section 92 doesn't excuse illegal transfers. Never did.
Finally, you guys are complaining about the whole "Canadian Legal" thing being a just a marketing ploy. I point out that it's actually following the text of the law. Now you guys are saying the text of the law doesn't matter because no one has been prosecuted for it.
It seems like you guys just have a general bone to pick with some retailers, if that's the case, please leave the law out of it and go with the actual root of your problems.
