re: #302 Dark_Falcon

It is ready to kill, but most (96+%) Americans who own an AK firmly do not wish to use their rifle to do that. They would kill if that was the only way to protect themselves or others, but they do not enjoy the idea of killing.

I think that for a lot of gun owners, the purpose is to convince others that they are willing to defend their home and family (i.e. kill or hurt).

They’d rather the deterrent work.
