So let’s get this straight...

In California, where normal people can’t have a semi auto AR a detachable magazine, and have to navigate all kinds of approved gun lists and waiting periods and I prefer not to know what else, there are known criminals wandering around with full auto AK’s. Have the people of California bought safety at the expense of liberty or was Ben Franklin right?

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. —Benjamin Franklin

The liberal scum may think so, but there are a few million others who didn't...

The police say they're full auto.

I'm just a little skeptical that there are very many people who drive a Caravan around with an expired registration who have the funds to acquire fully automatic AKs or the gunsmithing skills to convert semi-automatic AKs to fully automatic. (It's still probably a lot easier for a criminal to acquire a scary-looking AK on the cheap in Georgia than in California.)
