When I lived in California in the 80s the Oakland Tribune Newspaper decided to do a study on what weapons were used in crime. It took them a year. When it was over, they released their results, and to their great credit, they told the truth! They reported that the average weapon used in crimes in the city was: a five or six shot revolver, or a small auto pistol. In 22 caliber. Most long guns were very mundane sporting guns that were stolen. Many of these were cut down with a hacksaw to make them more concealable. Very few semi-automatic centerfire guns were used, either shotguns or rifles.
At the time, AKs and ARs and everything else was legal in California, but to the liberals enormous disappointment, they weren't being used in robberies and holdups. The crooks wanted something small and concealable, not a three foot long AK.
There was a picture released of a large number of guns, and it looked just like this one. I think the reason pictures like this are released is because the anti-gunners know nothing about guns. All they see is a large number of guns and they just KNOW that any gun is evil. The Appointed Cops, as opposed to the Elected and the Hired ones, are usually anti-gun. They know that all they have to show is a lot of guns , doesn't matter what kind they are, and the housewives and the eunuchs will throw up their hands in horror and demand that the government save them.
There is a word for these kind of people , but the moderator would delete it and issue me a speeding ticket..... so I'll leave it up to you to make up your own.
