People who don't know guns

(b) what's more inexcusable is the police who talk to the news media and mis-identify guns. I can't count how many times a straight stocked SKS rifle in the closet of some low level punk is splashed all over the headlines as a 'fully automatic AK-47', an erroneous description provided by the police of all people.

Considering that I haven't seen a real Uzi (aka Uzi Carbine usually cut down or an Uzi Pistol) used by a drug dealer or gang banger since the 1980s, and yet according to the little old ladies down at City Hall, everyone packs an Uzi. I sometimes challenge these people and say "Hey, do you even know what an Uzi looks like?" I have never seen an Uzi in any of the police photos of confiscated guns from Gang members in California. Not for 25 years! Ever since the import ban of the 1980s, they lost their' mystique' with the bad boys crowd. Also (despite some U.S. made knockoffs) they're hard to find and original pre-import ban guns are expensive.

I have the perfect example of this:

I got the pic from some image thread on the Arthur's Hall forums ( a forum that I strongly recommend)

I'm saving that to my computer.

Back on topic, I think it's because I started to become a lot more aware and knowledgeable about firearms, that I would instinctly correct someone who mis ID a gun. It's like someone who knows a lot about cars correct people who don't know engines.

I'm not going to be very happy with you if you go ahead and do that without asking my permission to use the image. I demand $1,000,000
