I'd like to give him the credit of thinking that too, but the article made no mention of select-fire AKs. The only mention was the cute little cutout of the Rifles category with the "AK-47" caption.
Now, let’s compare this figure to the number who died in auto accidents, especially due to drunk drivers.
I don’t have the numbers, but I bet it’s MUCH higher than 511 in 10 years.
