OK, guys. Should I get an Uzi or an AK-47?

You can and should go out and buy an semi-auto AK right now, AW Ban or not, from $250 on up.

You'll just have to do without the banned BS stuff like a bayonet lug, folding stock, etc.

Well first let's get serious. An AK-47 is capable of fully automatic fire and was not "banned by the AWB legislation." What was banned from importation and manufacture were MAK's and semi-automatic rifles that fired on a closed bolt that physically "looked" like an AK-47. A true AK-47 has been and will continue to be (after the AWB sunsets) a class 3 firearm, which may or may not be allowed to be owned (depending upon state laws) and local & state background checks and payment of a federal class 3 transfer tax.

A similar statement can be made about the Uzi.

Having said that, if I were going to take advantage of the AWB sunsetting, I would purchase a .308 AR-10 clone, a FAL clone, or mabye some other larger caliber "evil looking" semi-automatic rifle. If I wanted to go "cheap" then it would be an MAK or AK-47 semi-auto-clone.

Well, who wants a crummy old AK if the repeal of this law is gonna make rocket-propelled grenades and stinger missiles legal?

That is, unless that sort of red herring argument is as silly as Diane Feinswine's claim (about semi-automatics) that "one pull on the trigger could wipe out everybody in this room (the Senate)".

I'd say the AK, but I'm prejudiced toward the 7.62x39 round. Plus you can dip an AK in mud and it'll still fire. Not that the UZI doesn't have it's good points, but IMHO a 9mm vs the 7.62x39 is a kind of no-brainer.

Note; I do own a 9mm "Assault Rifle" but I still want an AK or SKS when funds become available.

HK-91 .308 - I've got two and they both run like a clock.

Neither. All you're doing is buying a bayonet lug. If anything, buy a Steyr AUG.

Also stock up on high cap mags for your pistols.
