I'm a spoiled American brat. I know this because I do not have "just one" AK-47 in my house. I do not need "just one" AK-47. I do not need any AK-47s, and that's why I can conscientiously argue that the second ammendment (firstly) does not guarantee the right to own firearms and (secondly) is an antiquated remnant from the world was a different place. It turns out that the world is the same place, just not here. I was listening to a native Iraqi NPR correspondent tell a story about how the U.S. military came to his neighborhood and went door-to-door searching for "bad guys" and weapons. "When they saw we have just one AK-47, they let us be," he said. Apparently the military let him keep the gun.
