But it was a sad day last week when it fell out of the canoe in the middle of the lake. Im still grieving.
Name one army, irregular militia or even insurgency group that arms itself with the type of AK-47 commonly, legally available in the US.
We don't care what you think. The founders believed the people should have military weapons in case they had to oust a tyrannical government.
A corrupt government fears an armed populace.
Hubert H. Humphrey On The 2nd Amendment
“Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be very carefully used, and that definite safety rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible.,” said Humphrey to Guns Magazine (“Know Your Lawmakers,” Guns Magazine, Feb. 1960).
I think perhaps that I should mention that Humphrey was a pretty liberal Democrat - for his time.
“That hunting and shooting are a cherished national heritage.....
“AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers,....”
Oh yeah, the old argument that it’s all about hunting. Give me a break! Guess the RevWar was just a deer shoot. Whoever shot the most deer won?
The ironic thing is all these dopes (as quoted) think “assault weapons” SHOULD NOT be in the hands of anyone BUT soldiers, while that is exactly why we mere citizens need them - to fight those soldiers when they are turned on us.
But no, that never happens, does it?
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Wonder if dear leader is thinking about all the times the AK was used to overthrow government.
I wish we were more like Switzerland where every male is armed and required to attend training every year, AND the government appears to be aware of the fact. Here, if we were really “soldiers defending liberty”, as someone asserts above, the government thugs would never have dared to pass Obamacare which was opposed by 67% of the population at the time. Remember what happened to the last soldier defending liberty at Ruby Ridge (under a Bush, by the way.)
I saw what you did there, Barry, you worthless piece of filth.
Nobody's arguing about the appropriateness of guns in the hands of criminals. What about peaceable citizens, Barry Hussein? Do you believe that "AK-47s" (could you identify one, if you saw it?) belong in the hands of peaceable citizens? US Constitution says "yes". How 'bout you, Barry?

“That they belong on the battlefield of war, not on the streets of our cities,” Obama said Wednesday night.”
***BUT DRONES ARE OK?*******
Seems that you need to be a soldier with an AK47 if you want to take an evening stroll in Chicago on a summers weekend evening! Or Detroit, or Washington, DC, or LA, or any other progressive urban hell hole!
Blame the guy next to you that voted for him.
Universal Suffrage was explicitly warned against by the FOUNDERS, who deliberately did not put a right to vote into the Constitution.
The WASHINGTONIANS in DC have amended the Constitution to expand he Franchise, and as a result degenerates like Clinton, Obama, and soon MYTH ROMNEY are elected POTUS.
This Republic will fall.
The enemy is all around us.
He said this today? Wow. This election is probably over. Bye bye Democrats.
How old is this video?
I totally support the Second Amendment, BUT there are certain guns I want banned. Many gun owners agree with me. Lots.
Well, it’s worked in the past, why not now?
Pretty ironic coming from the CIC that made soldiers at Fort Hood unable to carry firearms.
Oh, I get it. He meant other nation’s soldiers.
How silly of me.
Get out of my life, Buckwheat! It’s none of your business. Your “justice department” has killed more people than my .22 or even Ted Kennedy’s Oldsmobile.
Thank goodness Obama doesn't want to take away the AR-15 that replaced it.
I would have kept both, but the Obama Economy has put the dent in my expanding Arsenal Plan.
Then there was that tragic boating accident that decimated my collection. I'm tearing up just thinking about it.
He is obviously not American. The right to keep and bear arms in this country comes from a right to protect oneself from criminals AND sometimes an unjust government. I think that’s what the whole Declaration of Independence was about. Maybe he could visit some of the places like Williamsburg where they still talk about the British military taking away their arms.
Does Obama believe our retired military are qualified to carry an AK-47?
AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not in the hands of criminals. That they belong on the battlefield of war, not on “the streets of our cities,”
Detroit.. Chicago... War zone... all the same damn thing.
Repressive Governments are always very afraid of armed citizens.
