Every household in Iraq has always been able to posses one AK. Always.
What was the context of the video's you've seen? Do you know? Did the soldiers receive fire from the building, or structure being video tapped? All weapons would indeed be confiscated in that case, and handed back out when the situation is sorted out. No, I won't pretend it didn't happen, I also won't pretend that U.S. Soldiers enter an Iraqi household with the purpose of abusing the people living there and taking their fire arms. This simply does not happen.
How many of the civilian deaths in Iraq are non uniformed belligerents?
