Enough is enough.

I have been trying to figure out what to do with my AK-47. Selling it is out of the question and I have wanted to keep it as a historical artifact and collector’s item. There is a solution however: I am going to put my money where my mouth is, so to speak, by deactivating it TODAY. This involves drilling out the firing pin and breechblock, and plugging and slotting the barrel. Re-activating it would practically require making a new one from scratch. I might regret this if I am ambushed by terrorists here in Palo Pinto County, but otherwise it is a hazard and a personal inconsistency resolved and eliminated.
