I was having a discussion with some friends
(who could aren't anti-gun, just susceptible
to the usual media nonsense) and I was trying
to make the point that the overwhelming maj-
ority of the dreaded "assault weapons" are
in the hands of law-abiding, tax-paying, hard-working folks like you and me. We were
talking about AK's in particular which they
seemed to think was something rare that would
have to be purchased in a dark alley or some-thing. Does anyone know how many SKS and AK
variants have been imported into the U.S.
Educated guesses, exact figures, and sources
would all be welcome information. Any rational person who weighed the number of guns against the actual instances of criminal
use would have to realize that they're no more inherently dangerous than any other gun.
