Russian s-AK-tions

 



Russian AK that has sanctions against it.

According to FoxNews, gun enthusiast and AK fanatics buy up as many AK platform rifles as they can before the American sanctions against Russian firearms make all those firearms disappear in America. After the Russians invaded the country of Ukraine, many Western countries imposed sanctions on Russia. America's sanction involved the firearm world. Due to these sanctions, many gun enthusiasts in America have been buying AKs and Saigas in great value until they become unavailable in America. Many companies that sell, or even specialize in AK platform rifles, such as Atlantic Firearms, find themselves running out of stock. However, AK platform rifles and pistols are allowed to be manufactured and sold in America if they are created in any other country. A great example of this is the American company known as Krebs Custom, stationed in Las Vegas, that is being sold in abundance and Century Arms, which is known for selling Romanian semi-automatic AK rifles. This import ban has created difficulty for companies to get certain products out and many people feared that companies like Krebs Custom and Arsenal, both companies that build their firearms off of Russian receivers with custom parts built on afterwards, would go out of business, but this is not true. Unfortunately, they will just have to look for new receivers or parts kits to build off of. I cannot help but see an underlying agenda of just another way of banning firearms in all of this. Of all the sanctions that could have been imposed, Obama chose to ban the importation of firearms. Obama has already displayed anti-gun feelings. It would not be surprising to see the sanctions of Russian firearms as an excuse to chip away at the amount of guns in America. The crisis in Ukraine is a tragedy, but I just do not understand why firearms needed to take a hit when there were many other things that could have done more damage to Russia.
