Hard for me to argue with this, even if I do think an AK makes a good hog gun you can get dirty fuhgettaboutit. Good thing lever actions are fun.
Sorry America, as long as repugs control or can obstruct government, your children (and other innocents) will be regularly sacrificed on the alter of Battle Rifles = Man Card. We're talking a group intertwined politically with a nationalistic evangelical cult of sacrifice (see John 3:16). This is barter they understand and they're ok with the exchange rate.
Insane to think how out of step they are with the public. Almost
90% of America is for universal background checks no exceptions. Personally, I think 21 is still too young, should be more like 25 for civilians. You want to play with guns sooner, off to the military you go. Commit domestic violence and lose access to guns forever. Straw purchase gets you immediate prison time. The lawful acquisition of a firearm should result in that piece being inextricably linked to your name and you are responsible for whatever action it is involved in unless it is appropriately transferred or destroyed.
My views have hardened on this topic since I became a dad. It's cost me some shooting buddies. I don't care.
