I am not opposed to hunting... but an AK-47 to hunt is the most ridiculous think I've ever heard.
The current ban is expiring and that is the reason why people are worried... I think it would be the right thing to do to continue the ban.
This in no way infringes on your right to bear arms... people need to understand that civillians have no reason to have military grade weaponary in their homes...
In the wrong hands this could be even more deadly... imagine if they had these guns in cases like Columbine or VT Shootings... Remember the shootout in LA w/ the bank robbery... Remember the stories of drive bys with Uzi's ...
Remember the days of Bonnie and Clyde and Chicago mobsters who used these weapons and outmatched law enforcement....
and as far as what you wrote in this line I bolded... it proves to me that you probably shouldn't own these weapons and they have nothing to do with hunting... its probably more of an ego thing.
hmm in every instance you just mentioned they got their guns illegallly or were carrying them in a place illegal to carry them lotta good the restrictions did...
ESPECIALLY in the Bank shooting. To bad the goodguys weren't allowed to own a high powered gun. You prove our point quite well.
I really don't want someone like you deciding what is "military grade" after all typically the military has pistols too. Are you saying that is military grade? After all an M9 bretta is a typical Army side arm, that is miltary grade, they use it in the military. Are you saying we can't own an 9 mm bretta?
2nd the brady bill has expired. Which is what I think most people here are refering to.
And why not hunt with an AK you have a high powered round on a stable platform in a gun that will fire very reliably? Isn't that what you'd want in a gun. I've never seen someone hunt with a full auto AK. Just the typical single shot ones. (I'll bet you didn't even know that did you)
