Why? You can't defend your house with it.

Why not ? A semi-auto rifle is part of *my* home defense plan ... along with
a shotgun and a handgun . And other weapons , right down to the kitchen
knives , if necessary .

He didn't say "semi-auto rifle", he said AK-47, a select fire weapon.
Although most owners of semi-auto AKs may THINK they have an AK-47.

Of course mine is semi auto. I do not believe that full auto adds a
very valuable capability.


IMNSHO Full auto is not only of no value, it is detrimental in light
weapons, serving only to waste a limited supply of ammunition.


Not true in the slightest. Its very useful under certain situations.
Like when you dont have a grenade and need to kill every one in a room.


Well, it's still my opinion and I'll stick to semi or 3-rnd burst and
try to ensure that my limited supply of ammo finds as many targets as
possible, vs. walls, furniture, etc.
