Proud patriot buys AK-47 before tyrannical gubmint can stop him...

What I love about this story is every single player lived up to their stereo type.  Gun nut conservative dad.  Disrespectful liberal daughter.  Busy body neighborhood gossip.  Intrusive liberal social worker.  I was rolling laughing.

Cause there's nothing funnier than pointing an AK-47 at child.

Wow, this guy lives in St. Paul too, kind of a surprising place for someone like that. It'd make sense if he was from Michele Bachmann's district of course, but not St. Paul. Obviously this means he's not getting a sympathetic jury though.

I hope they cut off both his hands, so that he can never wield a weapon again. No jail time or fines though.

That'd be cruel and unusual punishment, though I think a lifetime ban on firearm ownership is a given regardless of how much time he gets.

That's because stereotypes are real

That's because stereotypes are real

In the sense that they exist?

You should know. You worked your ass off to become one.

If he was a patriot, why did he buy a Russian gun?

We are a free nation because of him.

He might prefer to lose the hands.  After all, with the right prostheses you can still use a gun.

[DINGO Joe]

Pfft... look at his name, he's obviously a godless commie.

Oh lefties, why you resemble the Saudis so much?

Yeah! He was totally serious!

Because freedom and liberty, that's why.

In the sense that, while never a literal truth, they usually* have a basis in fact.

*there be excemptions. Oh aye there be. The more removed the people holding the stereotype are from the people it is about, and the lower their opinion of them, the more such excemptions crop up.

Oh, I knew what he meant. He was just being, well, Mike Naso about it.

How are AK-47s legal!?!

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I really don't care if AK-47s are legal because they're not particularly useful guns for organized crime or even spree shootings, but they also obviously aren't good for hunting and won't work for self-defense. The only reason why a private citizen would need to buy an AK-47 is because they feel like a badass holding it, or because they seriously believe they'll need it one day to engage in some sort of guerrilla war against the government.

[Vosem]

How are AK-47s legal!?!

Why exactly wouldn't they be?

They're military assault rifles.
