There are so many better choices than an AK-47, most are junk, the Russians build them best and there are still many better choices than that. People who actually know their guns will tell you the same thing, it is not a great gun for any practical purpose other than being a "cool" "tough" gun. I suppose some could find them fun for target practice, I personally prefer to focus on skill not just seeing what I can blow away. Most people own them because they can, you are right. They tend to be the same people who value themselves by what they have not who they are. But to each his own, I prefer quality to hype in my guns.

I have to agree with you the ak 47 is an over rated weapon that I don't see as serves the average home owner. I myself have a bursa 380 which is nice handgun that I keep in my house. It may not be the most powerful of weapons but it one I feel comfortable in using and I feel I can handle it pretty well. I am not really a gun collector or anything just want one for basic protection. I don't hunt I don't believe in hunting as a sport. Boy I will hear about that one I am sure from all the hunters. If you really need the food that is not a sport in my estimation. But just so you can go out and mount a head on the wall and say hey look what I did no that doesn't appeal to me at all. Those that pay to go huntng in Africia just for the thrill are a little around the bend in my estimation. I dispise poachers I would like to hunt them myself. If an animal is threatening my family I don't have any qualms about killing it but it has to be no other way. We are killing to extinction and that is not right. Just so we can wear a belt, carry a purse or have different shoes??? Not my way of thinking at all. Man has this misconception he has to conquer everything he wants. I can't respect that way of thinking, sorry folk. I am not an enviromentalist either but I do think we have done our share of damage to this earth and we will pay for it one way or another. Again just my humble opinon and I am sure it isn't shared by some. ;D
