Be honest then. If it wasn't for the former Nazi's in the USSR, they wouldn't have got much done technology wise, same goes for our space program. You use what you have, and sometimes you don't agree with it's politics, but you'll still use it.

Cheers Mr. Kalashnikov!

I cracked open a new bottle in your honor.

Smells like cosmoline...... tastes like communism.

Enemy or not you have to respect him. When asked about If he felt guilty about inventing the am because if what others have done with it he replied that he was a man, working in the defence of his country.

off topic, but is that stuff any good?

RIP. One of the few Russians I would have liked to have met.

How so? Please give an example.

The gorms admire a devout, REAL communist while on the other hand, rile and spit on Obama for supposedly being a communist/socialist/pinko.

The gorms buy AKs and hoard Russky ammo, because of the upcoming apocalyptic battle with the US Govt (Molon Labe/cold dead hands). Why do gorms love and support Russia and hate America?

Correct. He owed his life to the Party as the CPSU took the work of Hugo Schmeisser and assigned the credit to Mikey.

he made a hell of a rifle, and and one hell of a machine gun(pkm). you may not agree with the politics but he was a patriot and loved his country you cant doubt a man for that.

Once you get caught up on using that neato-keeno word "gorm", review your spelling of "revile" (or, maybe, your use of the word "rile").

Unlike Hugo Schmeisser, he had the full weight of the Soviet propaganda machine working for him. (At least we were honest enough to admit that it was a German who gave birth to our space program.)

Admiring Mikey for his putative creation? Nothing wrong with that.

If one admires the work of John Moses Browning, must one admire Mormons? I carry a 1911, must I eschew coffee and fine craft breweries?

One can admire a PPS-41 or a Gerat06 and not be a Communist or a Nazi.

Spitting on Obama? Nothing wrong with that, dissent is patriotic, remember?

Hoarding guns and ammo for a battle with .gov? That is right up James Madison's alley.
