57. Lott, as usual,is correct. The AK's imported and sold widely in the US
are specially made COPIES of the various military rifles, with receivers made for semi-auto use ONLY. They can easily be fitted with 5 shot magazines and used for hunting. Their 7.62x39 round is nearly identical to the over 100 year old .30-30 used in lever action "cowboy" rifles for hunting medium game. The .30-30 was a high velocity long range wonder cartridge when it was invented in the 1890's. The AK's sold on the civilian market in the US are toys compared to the "real" military weapons that are available throuout Africa, the mid-east and far-east for very little money. Anti-gun people hate John Lott because he stated crime would decrease when Shall Issue carry laws were passed. Turns out he was right. mark
