You do realize that a 22 cal rifle is very much unlike a 7.62mm AK-47? I think it is stupid to buy a 22 made to look like a serious rifle but the weapon itself is a plinker not a man-stopper. This reminds me of a local NPR radio report out out of Buffalo trumpeting a cash for guns program that got an, unlikely, "12 gauge street sweeper assault rifle" off the street. Reporters and would be regulators need to be a lot less casual and sweeping in their descriptions if the really don't want to feed paranoia. Our gun and anti-gun cultures are both kind of sick.
