Me & my AK-47

Josie Roberts buys a WASR-10.

She really doesn't like the fact that she can.

"Six days after Watts was murdered, four days after I applied for a driver’s license, one hour after entering the store and five minutes after a criminal record check, I legally owned a semiautomatic AK-47-style rifle," she writes.

Horrors!

Josie, I can buy gasoline, fertilizer and box cutters in a lot less time. [And, yeah, I'm aware of the disputes about OKC and 9-11.]

You can't ban everything that's potentially dangerous, Josie.

Except for balconies. Ban them.

[Thanks to SayUncle for the tip on this story.]

She does look hot though in her pink camies that she has successfully accessoried with an AK-47.

Somebody should buy that woman some ammo and take her shooting. And give her a clue:

"Even this one, a semiautomatic rifle developed for Soviets tank crews to kill from a mile away. Joe Dominick, Allegheny County's chief deputy coroner, said shots from an AK-47 inflict trauma all over the body. The bullet can blow through several body parts, cutting through a hand to the torso through the other hand. And rarely is an AK-47 fired just once. At least eight shots were fired at Watts' Geo Tracker."
