Police say the shooting may have involved an AK-47.

It's bad enough that the MSM calls a civilian version of an AK-47 an AK-47, BUT FREEPERS SHOULD KNOW BETTER!!!!

An AK-47 is a fully automatic weapon found in places like Iraq, NOT in this country. Quit aiding the MSM attempt to blur the lines and confuse the debate. No wonder there are so many uninformed people in this country

What we might have here is an AK-47 STYLED weapon that is NOT a machine gun. One pull of the trigger and one shot fired. Just like many normal hunting rifles in use all over the country. This one just looks ugly.

There are some actual, real AK-47's in the US. The Marines own them and use them for training. I hear the Fort Irwin (US Army OPFOR guys) troops have them, too. I'm not aware of any legal AK-47s in US civvie hands, I think all the Class III AKs are AKMs and the like.
