Yes, the bad guys used AK's firing full auto, an illegally modified H&K, the M16/AR15 mix up, etc. It all is confusing to the non-shooting, non-enlightened public who see all guns which "look like that" as evil. Many people will be focused on the video and will not hear nor care what is being said. A lot of people out there, outside of us, the minority enthusiast, see so called and misnamed assault rifles as evil and something which the average citizen should not own. This program is only a reminder to those folks. I just happen to believe there is a little political motivation here on the part of the History Channel.
Just my opinion, or my .02 as they say.
