I have a question.  Do you have a legitimate answer:

If fully automatic rifles are illegal to sell, as I believe they are, why was this store selling an AK-47?

Was it fully automatic?  If so, it is legitimately an assault rifle and the headline writer used the right term.

But I notice that the reporter did not use the words "assault rifle".  That leads me to believe that this AK-47 was capable of only semi-automatic fire - and the headline writer applied the words "assault rifle" incorrectly.

Which was it?
