You cannot buy an AK-47 at a gun shop. The “A” in AK stands for automatic. Automatic weapons cannot be purchased by the general public.

Now that I got that out of my system, that firearm he is attempting to put in his pants, doesn’t even resemble an AK.

Sorry, I usually roll my eyes at uninformed comments but this is just too much. The “A” in AK-47 is for “Anton” the first name of the Russian designer, Anton Kalishnikof. Care to guess what the “K” stands for? Also, I hope you don’t think that “AR” stands for assault rifle too, instead of being the first 2 letters of the name of the company Armalite that uses it as the first 2 lets in the nominclature of all their weapons. Lastly, I bought my AK-47 at my local gunshot and they have dozens on the shelf if you are interested. But you might want to take someone with you that knows something about guns if you go.

Also, “automatic” weapons CAN be purchased by the public. I have a friend who paid $16,000.00 for a M-16 a couple years ago. The are very expensive and you have to file paperwork and pay $200 for a stamp from the ATF before the seller can allow you to take possession of it. It took about 9 months for my friend to get the stamp back then but I heard the are taking about half as long now.
