    Russia's Sending Four Million AKs to the Big Arsenal in the Sky

    International News, Military, Product & Industry News - 03.14.2012
    Story by: Max Slowik

    Russia has AKs to spare. The number of rifles stockpiled by the Russian ministry of defense is just crazy: 16 million AKs. Russia actually has 17 million but 1 million are in service with the Russian military, according to first deputy defense minister Alexander Sukhorukov. What do you do when you have 16 million extra guns? Naturally, you plan on selling them.

    But some aren't in any condition for export. Of the 16 million spare rifles, 6.45 million are worn out. Which is just... how do you wear out over six million AKs? That takes talent. Of the unserviceable rifles, four million are headed to the great gun rack in the sky.

    Too bad we don't have some supreme law that allows us the rights to keep and bear any firearm we desire. That alone would help the Russians to avoid destroying such great weapons.

    As to the ones that are "worn out", again if we had rights they would be able to ship them here and we could rebarrel or rebuild as needed to return them to their former glory.

    Just dreaming the dream that guys like Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, and several others dreamed about when they were under the rule of a dictatorial government.
