Well, i dunno about AKs, but i think i could just buy one or two G3 or AR-15
here. Not to mention a dozen Taurus pistols... I just dont have the money
(and the will) to do it. <g>
I´ve read in the newspaper that there is a new grenade shipment in the
streets as well, but i am not so sure if i could buy those, as they are very
"popular" here at the moment.
