Sen Kerry, is it fully automatic? If so, is it registered as a machine gun? If not, you are in violation of several laws, and guilty of a few different felonies. But then again, you skated in the Nam for murdering a wounded enemy combatant, you skated in 71 for treason and aiding the enemy with your VVAW activities, and you've skated your entire Senate career by doing abolutely nothing. What an empty shell.
This is a non-story, based upon ignorance of lie. Don't get snookered.
Sen Kerry, is it fully automatic?
If it is a “Communist Chinese assault rifle” it is fully automatic.
Not to mention that he may be in violation og "war trophies" laws/servgice regulations. Oh, and import laws.
Just after Viet Nam I worked as a US Army Customs Inspector. At the time (circa 74/75/76) guns could be shipped back to the united states legaly if the appropriate paperwork was filed with ATF and verified by inspectors like me.
There was and I assume still is an exception for "war trophies" the major provision was that the firearm be rendered completely inoperable (Barrel welded etc)to outward appearance it was the real article only useful for the mantel.
That the firearm was inop was generaly certified by a military armorer. I saw many AK47s and related hardawre during my tour.
