I'm sure at one point the topic of gun rights in Iraq has been broached, but I was unaware of the specifics, so I thought I'd bring it to the forum. I'll apologize in advance if this is a dupe.
While watching a documentary about our military operations in Iraq, the soldiers mentioned that Iraqi's are permitted one AK47 per adult age male in each household. It was stated that brandishing one out in the open will probably get you killed by US troops who will assume your an insurgent, but AK47's are legally permitted in order to defend against "Ali-Baba" (Thieves).
I just don't understand how our government, both federal and state (NJ, Cali, NY, MD, CT), can claim that Americans can't be trusted with assault rifles while permitting them in a nation filled with primitive Bedouin tribesmen who murder at the drop of a hat and universally have "alpha dog" complexes.
