What is a private citizen going to use a $27,500 sniper rifle for?

Why do people want to buy AK-47s anyway?

There is almost no one in the US who has any use for them, and by that I include criminals. An AK-47 obviously isn't the best weapon for hunting, and it's tough to imagine a scenario where a normal person needs one for self defense. And as stated even for crime they're not too useful. There's a ton of guns that can be used for drive-by shootings far more effectively, an assassin probably would have an easier time using a standard hunting rifle (which have far better accuracy at long distances), and it's clearly not the most effective weapon to use when robbing a bank or holding up a liquor store. The only person I could see who would have any interest in buying one would be collectors, but if I were a collector I'd seek out one used in some actual conflict they were iconic in than one built in 2013 in some shady Russian factory.

AK-47s are popular weapons because their durability and relatively cheapness and ease to use and low learning curve makes them ideal for guerilla warfare, but this is about the US...so basically the only people interested in them are the clowns who delude themselves that they're going to be part of some glorious proletariat revolution (well actually no since I don't see many teenage neckbeards seeking out AK-47s) or believe you'll need when the black helicopters come swarming in with the jackbooted stormtroopers to take away your freedoms...so basically you aren't worth taking seriously on ANYTHING.
