Not sure if this has been posted here…
$35,000… might be awhile before I pick some up.
… and I thought I paid a lot for my Krink!
Actually, pretty cool looking. For the girl that has everything else.
its good to see a socially motivated cause that the general populous can play an active part in…or not.
wow that price is out there:eek: But for a Good cause even though I think it is not really a drop in the Bucket with the number of AKs there already
Typical liberal stupidity. $35,000 to destroy 100 AKs. The problem is not the AK it is the people of the Congo. Blame the hammer not the carpenter logic.
BINGO!!! Fucking retarded idiots to the core.
is there any jewelry i can buy that will actually provide more AK’s for the congo? :sarcastic: just kidding guys! i’ve been there, that place is never going to change. better make some machette earings after the AKs are all gone…
Agreed. Their problem isn’t that everyone has a gun. Rather the problem is that they all want to kill each other. African violence didn’t suddenly happen with the advent of firearms- it just got a bit more efficient.
Gives me the warm & fuzzies!:rolleyes:
It apparently costs more to de-mil them than it cost to make them!
Somebody is ripping some deserving idiots off!
Let’s see there is one AK in the world for every 60 people on earth. This is not going to do anything.
For that much I could arm a hole village in Africa with Aks and ammo with a RPG to boot.
I think I would Rather just have the guns instead of the jewelry. Especially if they were Russian AK’s and not Made In China toy’s.That way I wouldn’t have to worry if one broke. I could just grab a new one out of the pile. Cleaning would be easier that is for sure.
The Rwandan Genocide was done with a million machetes. Quicker to make and hand out machetes than try and get AKs or other firearms. And when you’re hacking unarmed civilians, it’s not like you need the range of a firearm…
Personally, I’m bummed about all the rifles being destroyed. It’s a fuzzy feel-good thing for the same type of people who want laser-engraved diamonds to ensure they’re not blood diamonds. Doesn’t actually solve anything, just makes people feel better about it. shrug
Amazing how they talk about the need to stem the flow of illegal AKs into Africa without once mentioning how the majority were shipped in wholesale by the USSR & China to destabilize the African nations
…In case you’re wondering, the issue of how and why assault rifles are so prevalent in Africa is a complicated one, but the simple reality is that Africa’s borders are weak, weapons are cheap and armed conflict is rampant…
Following that paragraph is a UN report published in 2008 http://www.oxfam.org/sites/www.oxfam.org/files/africas%20missing%20bils.pdf
Yep, they kill each other just as effectively with machetes and AIDS rape.
A Rhodesian/South African fellow I know once answered a question posed by a college girl on what was “wrong” with Africa by saying, “Africans.”
They were slaving, violent savages before Europeans ever arrived and the only reprieve occurred under European occupation/colonization. If we really wanted to improve living conditions for Africans we’d encourage the Euros to reestablish their empires there.
How about just send me the 100 ak’s and the $35k? yes no maybe so? sounds good to me.
Soo, 35K to disarm people so other people can chop em up with machetes. Awesome…
:rolleyes:
