Putting AK-47s To Good Use
Next time some ghit tells you "the only thing an assault weapon is good for is killing people." you show him this: Guns and water hoses rid police station of vipers. Or at least make a good start. No, this is not a story from Chicago.
The "assault weapon" canard has so much wrong with it, you feel overwhelmed in trying to correct the twit. I inevitably start with a description of auto vs semi-auto, and point out that even a revolver offers one shot per trigger pull.
But, today it is pretty easy to show a lot of examples of ARs and AKs nicely outfitted for hunting, competitive target shooting, home defense, low-recoil recreational training, etc.
The hoplophobe will never be convinced. Paint it black and it frightens them. But possibly the by-standers the 'phobe was indoctrinating might see a glimmer of light in the opposing argument.

Cobras are pretty hardy and don't mind swimming.
ReplyDeleteNot from Chicago? Seems to me like that part of the world is the perfect fit to the description "den of vipers."

Molon labe!
AK-47, the very best there is. When you absolutely, positively, have to kill every single snake in the room; accept no substitute.
