This is the sort of story that really bothers me, as I know that the chances of this happening are so slim that its laughable. The police obviously know that this woman's husband shot her, as thats the only logical explanation for why she was shot twice. Putting an AK-47 under your bed does not lead to being shot twice in the stomach. Pissing off your husband might though!

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Police said a woman was injured early Tuesday morning while putting an AK-47 assault rifle under her bed.

Publishers of the Clemson University school newspaper are holding a controversial raffle in which the winner will receive an AK-47 rifle, according to a Local 6 News report.

The campus newspaper is holding the AK-47 raffle to make a point about the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, according to a Local 6 News report.

The AK-47 rifle turns 60 this year.

THIS YEAR MARKS the 60th birthday of the most malevolent and anti- American icon that has yet appeared on the face of the earth: Mikhail Kalashnikov's AK-47 assault rifle. One can hardly imagine a Red Square parade, Viet Cong assault, or any number of hijackings, kidnappings or terrorist incidents without the AK-47 being front and center.

In some Middle Eastern societies it is called the "jewelry of a man" and weddings, funerals, and most any event are observed with long bursts of AK fire directed (not always harmlessly) into the air.

Years ago I saw a disturbing photograph of Palestinian children being taught to assemble Kalashnikov rifles while blindfolded. The photo is deceiving because the Soviet-era rifle breaks down into a few major components. Anyone who can tie their shoes could field-strip and reassemble a Kalashnikov--blindfolded--in a few moments.
