Highlight:

(CNN) Pennsylvania police shooter on the lam has an AK 47. That's just great. [View all] applegrove Sep 2014 OP

It's just like a pea shooter, or a rubber band slingshot! The gunners told me so! alcibiades_mystery Sep 2014 #1

That was such a great impression of NRA active responce talking points that you applegrove Sep 2014 #3

Welcome to DU, Mr LaPierre! Tom Ripley Sep 2014 #43

Do you have a link? femmocrat Sep 2014 #2

I should have said it was on CNN. applegrove Sep 2014 #4

Thank you. nt femmocrat Sep 2014 #6

Well, it is his right. dballance Sep 2014 #5

I would assume the civilian version of that type Duckhunter935 Sep 2014 #7

LOL! Rex Sep 2014 #9

got a link? Duckhunter935 Sep 2014 #13

Semi-autos are quite lethal, and some gunners convert them. Hoyt Sep 2014 #12

I would be more worried about Duckhunter935 Sep 2014 #15

So why is he carrying the AK? Hoyt Sep 2014 #18

Who knows Duckhunter935 Sep 2014 #19

a .223 would would worry me more Go Vols Sep 2014 #37

Dad was military brass...could very well be the real deal. Rex Sep 2014 #17

Hope he had all of the required paperwork Duckhunter935 Sep 2014 #21

Carrying an automatic weapon without background checks is the least of his worries at this point tularetom Sep 2014 #26

"Hope he had all of the required paperwork...." alphafemale Sep 2014 #45

Talking about the father who owned the weapons the son stole Duckhunter935 Sep 2014 #46

He's cooperating. He'll be fine. nt alphafemale Sep 2014 #93

The killer stole his weapons, so I'm pretty sure that post was in reference to their legal owner. Threedifferentones Sep 2014 #65

Why do you have him for his freedumbs? Rex Sep 2014 #8

He's believed to have both the AK and a .308 caliber rifle with a scope pinboy3niner Sep 2014 #10

I'm not an expert on these things but I think it unlikely. OffWithTheirHeads Sep 2014 #11

The dad is former military, could very well be likely a real AK. Rex Sep 2014 #14

And if he had it illegally Duckhunter935 Sep 2014 #16

I think that is the least of his problems. And, don't forget, you can go Hoyt Sep 2014 #20

Not as easy as you think Duckhunter935 Sep 2014 #22

Sounds like you have tried, or at least investigated, it. It's done Hoyt Sep 2014 #24

Wow! you sound angry. I get the impression from your post that OffWithTheirHeads Sep 2014 #27

"Can you source that?" Hoyt doesn't *do* sources-he's strictly an 'ipse dixit' sorta guy... friendly_iconoclast Sep 2014 #50

Yeah, I kinda got that when he never replied. OffWithTheirHeads Sep 2014 #51

No Duckhunter935 Sep 2014 #40

People who don't own or work on firearms have no idea the precision required. OffWithTheirHeads Sep 2014 #25

That's my take also. Easier to get a legal suppressor than an AK OffWithTheirHeads Sep 2014 #23

Why would the Dad lie? nt IdaBriggs Sep 2014 #42

"AK47/assault weapon" is certain posters' version of "terrah,Terrah,TERRAH!!!"... friendly_iconoclast Sep 2014 #68

Amazing Duckhunter935 Sep 2014 #74

Both. He is a killer. He has weapons. He doesn't need to go to the grocery store. IdaBriggs Sep 2014 #44

Agreed. cwydro Sep 2014 #48

I live in Pike County, and I'm not concerned. newcriminal Sep 2014 #49

I'm afraid of any gun in the wrong hands. cwydro Sep 2014 #47

One can easily and legally attach a slidefire stock to a semi-auto AK-47 Kaleva Sep 2014 #60

And turn your weapon into an inaccurate toy hack89 Sep 2014 #61

Just as accurate as an AK-47 firing full auto Kaleva Sep 2014 #71

Only under optimum conditions. Straw Man Sep 2014 #76

Your comments Kaleva Sep 2014 #77

Clarification. Straw Man Sep 2014 #87

Which firing positions are you talking about where one doesn't place the stock to the shoulder? Kaleva Sep 2014 #89

Stock under the arm or rifle held away from the body like a submachine gun. Straw Man Sep 2014 #90

In your first post to me, you implied the importance of accuracy Kaleva Sep 2014 #91

Again, slide-fires are only accurate under optimum conditions. Straw Man Sep 2014 #92

Probably just a junky imported clone... ileus Sep 2014 #64

No worries, the police have tanks. Glassunion Sep 2014 #73

Your ignorance is showing Orrex Sep 2014 #78

I beg to differ Glassunion Sep 2014 #80

No shit? Damn. Orrex Sep 2014 #81

It was a strange story. Glassunion Sep 2014 #84

Not a tank. No turret with a large bore main gun. oneshooter Sep 2014 #85

Tank sounds cooler than APC... Glassunion Sep 2014 #88
