Kalashnikov USA to produce AK-47 in Florida
According to media reports Thrusday, American gun maker Kalashnikov USA is announcing plans to manufacture the famous AK-47 assault rifles in Florida. The company previously imported the weapons from the original manufacturer in Moscow.
As reported by CNN, the company began producing the guns in Pennsylvania last year when President Obama imposed sanctions against Russia after its annexation of Crimea. At that point, Kalashnikov USA severed all ties with the Russian company. Now, Pompano Beach has approved the assembly of guns in the city.
Guns assembled at the Pompano Beach factory will have to be sold to retailers elsewhere.
Kalashnikov in Florida: Company To Produce AK-47 in Florida
Kalashnikov USA launched new rifles and shotguns at a firearms conference in Las Vegas last week, including the high capacity magazines Alpha line. Genuine AK-47’s — among the most popular assault rifles in the world — have spiked in value since the sanctions halted imports.
So much fear and stupidity on here. First off, it’s an American company that’s just using the Kalashnikov name. Second, there’s 5 or 6 US companies already making AKs. Third, stupid people are the problem, not an inanimate object that cannot do anything without input from a human. Educate yourselves and maybe your irrational fear of some steel and wood will fade.
This is NOT the same factory as the one in Russia, this is the former importer for the Russian SAIGA sporter rifles, who has now decided, thanks to the sanctions, to take advantage of Kalashnikov Concerns ability to act, they would utilize the Kalashnikov name and manufacture their own rifles in the US, since they can no longer import the original Russian rifles. They’ve now gone from being a rifle in “sporter” configuration when imported into this country, lacking all those scary features that make liberals quake in their skirts, to rifles that have all those features, and likely more.
Kalashanikov have one of the best and Cost effective rifles but Why people need these Guns which are made to be used in Battlefields. 9mm, Shot guns and SMGs are designed for personal protection and only Guns with that Caliber should be legal for personal protection.
