  1. Do not tell us how to run our country, communists. You nearly ran yours into the ground.

  2. Despite the strictest gun control in the world, when I was in Russia I was offered a Makarov pistol for $50.00 and a full-auto AK-74 for $100.00. RPG-7's were also available for a little more.

  3. Finally, and most important: IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO CONTRIBUTE TO ANTI-GUN GROUPS, LOOKS LIKE YOU WON'T NEED ANY OF OUR FINANCIAL AID ANY MORE.

Memo to my secretary: "Book me on that next flight to Moscow - pronto!" ;-)

BTW, didn't President Ronald Reagan almost single-handedly destroy the U.S.S.R by destroying their economy? Next time you head to Russia I want an AK-47 brought back - I mean they are legal there right?

"The blame for increased gun sales, according to Moscow and anti-gun activists, lies with gun manufacturers."
So much for their understanding of simple economic principles. Increased sales are due to increased demand (especially from all the Dims!)

Nearly 40% of small arms used by 3rd world armies, insurgents, and terrorists were made in Russia or the former Soviet Union. Any jackass can see that by watching the news every evening. Clean your own house before accusing us Putin!

...and a full-auto AK-74 for $100.00...

Too bad we're using those messy daisy cluster bombs over in Afganistan. The "Evil One's" AK-74 would have made a nice war trophy. I envy our Special Ops troops' great opportunities to pick some real collectibles over there. ;-)

It's a good thing you didn't buy the weapons. Your friendly salesman was probably running a sting operation to -- typically -- "recruit" you into being a useful agent.

Interestingly, when I was last headed for Great Britain, I enquired with a pal there about the possibility of picking up a handgun for use there. No problem he said.

The choices I had within my price range were a former East German Makarov complete with holster, extra magazine and ammo and a silencer, a 9mm Browning L9 military service pistol, or a .38 S&W revolver leftover from WWII.

BTW, the Russians have developed a full-auto version of the Makarov now. It's a little bulky, but looks promising.
