Some kid in Queens, NY got ambushed with an "ak-47"

This shows that criminals will use aks and other rifles. So should the solution be to deprive law abiding citizens from these, and leave them to face these criminals only with pistols and bolt action rifles?
Or does anyone SERIOUSLY think that a criminal will follow the ban law?

Was it a Class three full auto? If not, its just a modern sporting firearm, not an assault weapon. Same action as your grandfather used to kill deer.

Should we be surprised when criminals choose to use widely owned firearms? No

It would be surprising if criminals chose uncommon firearms - then you might build a case that those firearms are somehow facilitating criminal acts.

Read that story a few minutes ago along with another one from a Queens news source that added that the Ak47 can fire 600 rounds per minute and was on the street because the assault weapons ban had been allowed to expire.

Had possible gang ties... Go figure! They just need to let these Thugs just kill each other off and the problem would be solved.

I thought "assault weapons" were already banned in NY.

Bingo. If it's not FA then it's not an Avtomat Kalashnikova .
