I believe a while back it was diane frankenstein from ca wanted this outlawed because it was waaaaay too dangerous and was something the thugs would grab onto. Lmao, just like the AK-47 is their weapon of choice. When was the last time you saw a gang banger walking down the sidewalk with an AK slung on his shoulder. Let alone an AK with a bayonet attached. They sure ain't gonna put a 500 mangle-um in their pants, they can't keep them from falling down now.
