AK47s that are imported to the US are not fully automatic. The are semi-automatic, one pull of the trigger, one shot. Fully auto guns are illegal to own unless they are made prior to 1986 and you have to have quiet a bit of $$$ and jump through a few hoops for the BATF to get one.
If you are talkin gabout Semi-Auto assult rifles or any other pseudo-military semiautomatic rifle, here is my answer.
Why do I need one?
- No. 1 reason is for it's defensive role for use to protect my family and property. It is easy to use, it is accurate, and it is very reliable. I can give many more reasons why it is perfect for defending your family and home. And don't tell me that I will shoot my neighbors with it. That is a morons response. Use the right bullet and you wouldn't have that problem. Speer 115-grain 9mm Gold Dot JHP will penetrate more sheets of dry wall than Winchester Ranger 64-grain Power-Point in .223.
- Another reason, pure enjoyment. I enjoy shooting as a sport
Here is a question for you. Why do I have to explain their ownership?
