win by default

This calls for a government bailout.

How about a tax credit so every American can buy two and pump up sales to save jobs?

We could create the 0bama Bureau of Gun Supply with stimulus funds, after all he's the best firearms salesman in America right now!

"what a wonderful day when all arms manufacturers go bankrupt"...

One of the commenters to this story.

That young woman is REALLY CUTE! (Cuter without the AK!)

[Lurker]

I beg to differ. Any beautiful woman is improved with the addition of a serious weapon in her hands.

Humorous piece on it from zerohedge...(many good comments also)...

Not necessarily, the Chinese still churn them out by the freighterload.

However, the Saiga 12 shotgun is made by Izhmash, so if you want one, get it now.

the comment about the pic in the article NOT being AK47 was also spot-on.

Get yer Izzys while you can!

I recall they were having issues with their snubnose versions...

I never had that version... nice folding stock was fine for me.

IF she retains the rifle, she gets bonus points for cuteness.

[Spktyr]

Also, Colt doesn’t make the M-16 any more, either. Current M-16 production is done by FN. So not a win by default.

[Huskrrrr]

[Redcitizen]

NICE Rifle!!! Oh yeah, she’s cute too.

[rabidralph]

The horror. The horror.

I work next door to a place where the G20 will hold an "event" this week in Pittsburgh.

One of the Secret Service agents working the place is brunette, brown eyes, with a BMW. I can see her gun if she stands just the right way.

She is SO hot!

God Bless America!

[Flavius]

also Armalite is still around that's who made the original AR - Armalite so WIN

[Rodebrecht]

I didn’t know Bloomberg read his own tripe.

Ruger just came out with an M-16 type rifle. There are plenty of weapon makers making the M-16 type rifles in the US. I was looking at the Ruger today and it impressed me..I don’t own a .223 because I still stick with the M-1A versions with the .308. I have a tanker version and a full size version.
