And the perps were soooo dangerous with those eeeevil weapons that they dropped them and fled without firing a shot.

Someone also needs to educate ignoracrat officer Louis Faust, and a few thousand journalists, about our Constitution.

Anyone who does not own an SKS should go out at the earliest opportunity and buy two of them, 1,000 rounds of ammunition and a hand-full of stripper clips. They're cheap, strong, reliable, and a whole lot of fun. Get one to keep original and one to equip with a sinister-looking, black folding stock, just 'cause. They are 100% reliable IF they have matching serial numbers on the receiver, bolt and magazine. The medium power 7.62 x 39 mm cartridge (similar in performance to the American .30-30) results in very little recoil in an SKS, so small-framed adults and kids can handle them easily.
