Wow, we appreciate having you on board with us! I agree, though I feel strongly about certain political concepts, none of them have a place on a channel dedicated to mechanical objects. I first learned about this when I started learning about AKs (as a shooter, beyond my studies of Russian and Soviet weaponry and tactics in the military). I showed up to local 3-gun matches with an AK-74 and was accused of being "un-American". I was still on active duty at that time, had already served in two wars, and my dedication to our nation was being called into question by those who hadn't served a day! A mechanical device is a mechanical device.
