I can't remember if it was a news anchor gal or a politician who couldn't get the magazine to load into the AK, after saying they were so simple a child could operate them. That memory is very foggy.
Talking about those least informed of guns wanting to get rid of them. Basic human assumption to be afraid of anything you haven't been accustomed to. People have phobias about the unknown, UB is no different than most.
Talk about educating people, anything that looks like an AK is called an AK-47, whether it be an AKM, and Actual AK-47 or the AK-74. Most people couldn't tell you the difference I would imagine. SO even I tell people I have an AK-47, even though its really an AKM. Peeps don't know the difference unless they are in the know. Even many of the people that own the damn things don't even know.
I find it telling that they want to ban Semi Auto rifles, even though they were only involved in 1/12th as many deaths as Pistols. First the rifle, then the pistol, then the shotguns, piece by piece is the plan.]\
wow, Im really high right now.
