I assumed he was talking about owning an SKS.
This debate doesn't matter IMHO, he is delusional and is just lying again. Like the CIA hat and the flying dog and Cambodia and his metals and throwing away his metals and his cars and... well you get the point.
Tomorrow, he will say something just the opposite of what he said today, and he will not even know he did it.
Everything is Vietnam. Every question, issue, policy, decision, debate, everything is about Vietnam.
Everytime he speaks, my friends, my wife, and I have a pool on how many words he will say before he mentions Vietnam.
I swear, he is a nut and he needs a psychological examination. I'm not kidding!
The guy is certifiable. (must be post traumatic stress or something...?)
