Wow... when I read the caption under the pictures i laughed because i though it was scarcasm, but after reading the article, i think that it was serious! :banghead: And that site seemed to have some good info too... Did i miss somthing, or do i need to write this guy an email? :confused:

You missed something. They reprinted a USA Today column. Pretty clearly, the site does not agree.
 
That scene in "True Lies" in the Georgetown Mall where the lead terrorist unloads at the Govenor of California ( :neener: ) through the toilet stalls was horrible.

He had a 30 round mag in that shorty AKSU, maybe a 40, and the F/X guys put about 150 holes covered with grey painted squib charges on the toilet stalls, and blew them all at once. :rolleyes:

Nobody among my friends cared when I pointed out that you'd have to do 5 magazine changes in that AK to accomplish that many holes.
 
Small arms have been the weapons of choice in 47 of the 49 largest conflicts since 1992.

That cracked me up - I actually laughed when I read that - I mean for Kriste's sake war's are fought by men, on the ground and those men use small arms.

I can't even figure out the author's point in making the above statement...

What a "maroon"...

What I'd really like to know is what the weapon of choice was in the two "largest conflicts" where small arms weren't the weapons of choice???
 
Ok, good; when i read it i first though that it was heavy sarcasm, but the accompaning article didn't flow with the rest of the site, now i see it's a re-print... Out of curiosity anyone have any other good sites for AK info?

Arms Control begins at home!

Well, isn't the solution obvious?

The Govt. should should lift the full auto ban and let the honest American citizen buy up all those AKs. Heck, I betcha each of us would have at least 10 of them (@ $6 a pop).:) We'll clean up the world market in no time.

Rwanda was one. The estimates range from 400K-800K killed in a few short weeks...with machetes. Why machetes? Well, they are the commonest tool in that part of the world.

Read "Out of America" for a revolting examination of African "politics."

:barf:
 
Where do you find those cheap US made AKs for $150???

Sometimes single-stack 10 round post-ban importable AK's, get that low on blowout sale prices. As opposed to the double-stack 30 round and drum AK's that require some U.S. assembly and parts to be legal, and seem to be around $300-350 right now.

Usually the single-stack AK's get that low when there's a glut of $300 doublestack AK's or $99 SKS's out there on the market.

But I doubt that the anti's would ever do enough research to tell the difference when they cite that $150 figure.
 
From the article:
The U.S. group also opposed proposals to register new weapons with identifiable, inalterable serial numbers. Indelibly marked weapons would be easier to trace back to their manufacturers and brokers. The 5,000 to 10,000 small rockets that now belong to non-state combatants — including terrorists who have made U.S. aircraft some of their priority targets — somehow leaked out of government channels worldwide and into the black market. If a worldwide serial-number tracking system existed, the complicit factories and shippers could be rooted out.

And we alll know that bad guys would never, ever scratch off serial numbers from their weapons.

The U.N. estimates that up to half of all small arms worldwide are held illegally by non-governmental groups: criminals, warlord armies, terrorists and the like.

According to the US State Department, between 1980 and 2000, terrorists killed 7745 people. During the same period of time, governments the world over killed more than 10 million people in various ethnic cleaning campaigns, mass executions, politically caused famines, wars, death squads operations, and other slaughters.

I'd bet money that the UN groups American gun owners in there.
