The fact that people die because of an AK-47 is not because of the designer, but because of politics.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't believe there's any reason for a person like myself to own an AK-47.
Having traveled to parts of the world where war has done its usual nasty work on people's lives, I have come to develop a particular hatred for the shape, the look, the sound of the AK-47.
I was born into Sudan's civil war, and before I could read or write, I was using an AK47 in the conflict between the Muslim north and Animist/Christian south over the land and natural resources.
Guns aren't the problem; sick people are.
I don't understand how any good art could fail to be political.
Political courage is not political suicide.
In a war of ideas it is people who get killed.
Now children as young as nine carry AK47s which can kill 30 people in seconds.
We hear so much about weapons of mass destruction. But nine out of 10 war victims are killed by guns. It's the AK-47 that's a weapon of mass destruction.
People are just fascinated by assassinations.
