139. No it doesn't count. When the generic term AK47 is used it conjures up
Edited on Thu Sep-09-04 08:25 PM by hansolsen
an image of an insurrgent running around the streets of Baghdad with a fully automatic military weapon acquired from gun dealers on the black market.

The AWB does not address fully automatic weapons, which are already banned anyway.

Now, there are semi-automatic AK47 knock offs that look like the "real" thing, but are not any more dangerous than literally a 100 million other hunting rifles and shotguns in private hands that are routinely used for hunting, etc.

It is a bogus issue. Diane Feinstein is an idiot.
