You can convert semi to auto.
I think the story works politically for us. Obama arming terrorists like he did in Syria.
It can be done. Not nearly as easy as some claim. But AKs are common, all over the Middle East, and in the old East block.
It seems highly improbable. Pretty sure this store came out and was debunked a month or two ago.
If I could see detailed pics of the Zastava AKM used in the Paris attacks, I can determine whether it was constructed as a semi-auto gun converted to select fire or whether it originally came from the factory in Serbia as a select fire rifle.
So far, I’ve not seen a clear pic of any guns reputably used in the Paris terror attack.
...and a Mexico Cartel / Islamic connection.
