I don't know HK_DUDE, but neither of us should be here right now.  I am only calling him out because I recognize him from the AR forum.

I am only here because of my recent thread regarding the fact that I think my SKS looks far too much like the AK, which I despise for it's affiliations over the years.  Many people, even in the AR forum, took alot of time to try to convince me that I was an irrational fool.  However, I don't care.  Now the thread has been moved to the armory, but I almost hoped it would come here.  I stand by my belief, regardless as to wether most find it perfectly logical or not.

And, by the way, think how happy it makes M.K. everytime he sees an American with an AK.

I am 36, from central NJ, and I hate AK's.  They are the weapon of choice of our mortal enemies (as they have been for many years).  You all can enjoy yours (I guess), but I will not ever buy one.

Dude get over it. Any gun can be used by the BAD GUYS. I like all guns. Hell there is aVideo out with Zarqawi or what ever his named is , he is shooting a M249. That is one of the GOOD guys guns, think about that. They dont give a shit what they use on us, so long we are all dead. The Ak's are from Russia and they are good guys to us now so how about that? Hell I met the guy.

Yes, I have seen your picture before on the boards with him.  I am sure you realize that just because you've met him does not necessarily make him a good person, but that is beside the point.

I should not have posted here the way I did the first time, and I apologize.  I am not looking to make enemies.

That said, the Russians are feeble allies at the very best.  Despite their recent disaster in Belsan (as well as others), they still work closely with Iran, and were working with Iraq until we put a stop to that.  China is also close with them.  If they ever had to choose sides, I would not feel at all certain they would be with us in a global conflict.

Always wanted an AK, figured I better get it now since the anti-gun DUMMYCRAUTS will probably be in power in a few months and figured I needed to get it if I wanted it.  

NRA member, Des Moines Iowa, 2 kids, X-Navy computer dude, the only thing stopping me from buying tonight is I don't know a FFL, worried about ammo availablity and I'm afraid my wife may use it on me!

I fired an AK for the first time a couple of weeks ago at the range and now I want one even more.

Copy and paste from the ATF website FAQ-

----

(B15) May a parent or guardian purchase firearms or ammunition as a gift for a juvenile (less than 18 years of age)?

Yes. However, possession of handguns by juveniles (less than 18 years of age) is generally unlawful. Juveniles may only receive and possess handguns with the written permission of a parent or guardian for limited purposes, e. g., employment, ranching, farming, target practice or hunting. [18 U. S. C. 922( x)]

-----

And it is legal for me to posess a handgun in Wisconsin as long as I am under an adult's supervision.

I've mostly been into pistols, ARs and M1s.  

The real dark side is shotgun sports.  Don't start or you'll get sucked in.  (and that means fewer AK kits.)  One can get a lot of AK stuff for the price of an entry level O/U.  ($1200)

AR-180B was my first centerfire rifle (had shot centerfire rifles maybe 10 times throughout my life before that). Finally got the rifle I wanted ever since I first saw it: an AK-74 clone in 5.56. I got it by converting a WASR-3.

I can't wait and I know I'll have millions of questions so if you can give your insight when I do then great. I can also take a good beating so if you can dish it then shoot.

Favorite Books: The 33 Strategies of War, The Red Dragon, Dave Barry Hits Below the Beltway

Favorite Gun: The Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947. More commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It's the world's most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9 pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It'll shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it; and they do. - Yuri Orlov
