"The Coalition Provisional Authority's two-week "gun amnesty" ended Saturday. Iraqi civilians can keep weapons no larger than Kalashnikov rifles, but some Iraqis, particularly shopkeepers, have complained that handing in their weapons has left them defenseless against robberies" -CNN



So let me get this straight... the shopkeepers need rocket launchers to protect themselves against robbery? since apparently an AK-47 isn't big enough?

Scenario: Robber comes in with AK, shopkeeper pulls out rocket launcher. Robber is stumped and thinking to himself (Is he gonna blow up me, himself, and the store with that launcher if the alternative is loosing some merchandise or money), then proceeds to shoot the guy for his stupidity.



****, if I was the shopkeeper, I'd keep a 12 Guage (American Style Baby) and some slugs on me at all times. So if a dumbass is stupid enough to come in with an AK, I'd open fire without asking any questions. Seriously, if you're dumb enough to rob a store in recently freed Iraq, then you're worthy of getting shot.

mount the gun from the A-10 on the counter, that should make people think twice.



or better yet, get those motion-detector guns from Aliens...sure, you'll kill absolutely everyone, but you won't get robbed.

lol, I could see that. You walk in and the guy is just standing behind an mini gun that's bolted to the floor which is protected by 6 inches of armor plating.
