Once upon a time ago, about the time I was posting the ASCII text
versions of The Resister on Usenet, I bought an AK-47 chambered in 5.56
NATO. It had the thumb hole stock mandated at the time by our masters in Washington. As a former combat rifleman I took it
upon myself to properly zero in the sights on the weapon. As I was
doing this at the Moon Valley range down in Eden Prairie I was rudely
interrupted.
It appeared that a scraggly young man wanted to sell me a folding stock
for the AK-47. I said no. He repeated his offer. I repeated my
refusal. Eventually he got the point.
First, I actually had no interest in a folding stock for the rifle. The
folding stock for the Ak-47 series rifle is copied from the MP-38/MP-40
series machine pistols issued by the Wehrmacht. They are inherently
unstable and were used both by the Wehrmacht and the Soviets to shorten
the weapon for carriage within an aircraft or armored vehicle. An
acceptable trade off for them but not for me.
Second. folding stocks at the time were illegal. I was not about to
ruin a weapon by installing an inferior stock simply for the sake of
disobeying our self appointed masters. The proper way to deal with a
master is to air out his head.
By his demeanor and his insistence on selling the stock to my unwilling
self I concluded that this fellow was a stooge for the BATF. I refused
to fall into the trap.
A simple bit of common sense can go a long way.
Punishing a man for an act he did not commit is unjust. Imprisoning a man for speaking the truth is tyrannical. Disarming the citizens -- who are the sovereign authority of the nation -- is treason. To say anything more would require the extensive use of barracks language. There's no such thing as "common sense gun control" those who are in favor of banning firearms are enemies of Humanity and should be treated in the Nuremberg style, from the neck until dead. And there's no limit to what a Statist can do to a disarmed victim.
