Just saw this as well. Another member of the greatest generation lost. 94 is a good run though, and we should all hope to leave behind such a lasting mark on the world. RIP.

So, it's the gun's fault, and not the shooter.

One of the few commies I respected.  Who wouldn't LOVE to have a run like this man?  

Might be one of the ONLY men on earth respected by such a diverse number of peoples.  From gun nuts, to Jews, to Freedom lovers everywhere…..terrorists, ragheads and any number of african vermin.  We all respected the man and his work.

One of the reasons I became a gun enthusiast. I've always wanted a Russian AK47, but after a lot of research when I was serious to buy, I opted for the AR15. Maybe one day...

When asked if he regretted inventing something that was responsible for killing millions his reply was that he slept well at night (paraphrase) and said he blamed the politicians for wars and death.

 

I have re-constructed many of his AKs, and appreciate their simplicity and their effectiveness. R.I.P

I guess those gold and silver plated ak's that came in the fancy case and were autographed by him just shot up in value greatly. You guys remember those? Earlier this year I believe

You do realize this is the exact mentality the leftist grabbers have about guns, right? Come on, we're better than that here.

Well, having had the wrong end of AKs directed in my general direction (without results I'm happy to say) - - - I'm sort of conflicted toward the hero-worship some show this man. I will respect his product from an adversary's point of view, but I won't praise him or the system that developed it.

However I would recommend that anyone interested in the development of the AK read "The Gun" by C.J. Chivers.  Very good reading.  His fact-based examination into the development of the AK will cause one to realize the Soviet myth that was built up around Kalashnikov. 

 

Never forget that Commies (past or present) will never let the truth get in the way of a good story that advances their agenda.

Eugene Stoner's M16 has been used against our own guys.

It's not Kalashnikov's fault that the Soviet Union threw his design at every nation that said they hated America. Edited by austin7.62

No it isn't. Because he invented a weapon designed to kill US,doesn't make him a hero or idol. I like the ak design cause it works but I don't worship the commie that designed it...or mourn his death. Grabbers don't like anything including themselves.....
