Of the 250,000 robbery instances (my un-official figures) every year in the USA, 99.999% are by a small handgun and/or knife or other means.

Prior to the now infamous case in California in 1998 (I think) where some guys actually had AK-47's plus body armour, the only other case involving ANYTHING this powerful was a Police officer gone on a rampage using his issued weapon.

So of the millions of 'armed robbery' cases in the past 20 years it is so typical & hypocritical of the media and the gun-control groups to focus on the 0.000001% of cases where a powerful weapon such as an AK-47 was actually used.

Doesn't really matter. Might as well ask when the last time a Ford used as a getaway car...
