    The accounts I read said the homeowner was not charged, i.e., the authorities see the incident as a justified self defense shooting.

    If so, the homeowner should counter sue for the cost of his bullets.

    Should be easy right? An armed threat burglarizing a home. It stops being a question at that point.

    Yes. It should be easy. A cheap attorney should be able to handle it.

    I don't see how criminals have a right to sue a homeowner who is obeying the law. It's absurd.

    The article I linked states this:

    AKM: This is a popular variant of the AK family. This was created as an improvement of the original AK-47 design. The letter M in the name "AKM" stands for Modernizirovanniy, which is the Russian word for "modernized." The AKM design was developed in the 1950s and finally was approved for full production in 1959. It fires the same 7.62x39 mm as the AK-47 for backward compatibility. However, the design was much revised and enhanced from the original AK-47 to allow it to be mass-produced. The Soviets acquired modern mass production technologies from captured German engineers (including Hugo Schmeisser, the designer of the StG-44) and used those on the AKM. Among some of its improvements:
    • Replacement of the milled receiver with a receiver made out of stamped sheet steel. Machining is a lot slower process than using a press to stamp parts. Hence, use of stamped parts made it much faster to produce AKMs.
    • Using rivets instead of welds on the receiver, in order to speed up production.
    • Improvements to barrel, gas ports etc. to speed up manufacturing and enhance reliability
    • Weight reduction of approximately 1 kg. (2.2 pounds)

    In the state of Florida, a burglary is considered a violent felony, and deadly force can be used against someone committing a violent felony. Not sure about TN. In this case, both burglars were armed. It should be an open/shut case against the burglars.

    Semi-automatic variant.

    And is not illegal for a U.S. citizen to purchase a fully-automatic weapon. However, they are very expensive and requires extensive background check and NFA tax stamp.

    This AK-47 wasn't a fully automatic weapon. It was a semi-automatic variant.

    And no it is not illegal for a U.S. citizen to purchase and own a fully-automatic weapon. However, they are very expensive and requires extensive background check and an NFA tax stamp.

    Anyone has the right to sue but that does not mean they all,prevail.

    I would've like universal laws passed that would prevent someone from recovering for damages if they sustained those damages during the course of committing a crime.

    There needs to be a universal law that allows the homeowner to kill a ny intruder with impunity. A burglar, a home invadionist, a break and entry specialist deserves the death penalty.

    As a friend from college once said in business management class--- "Shoot him, teach him a lesson".

    Interesting ... but unfortunately not true to the purely private trade. For deals between individuals, a weapon changes hands without extensive background check and NFA tax stamp! ;-)

    That's just ridiculous ...

    Best I activate from now on my internal "Ignor Button" on the subject of US gun law and even if the next school massacre comes in the US, I just shrug my shoulders.
    O man ... what am I glad that we have a reasonable and mostly functioning gun law in my country and not such a nonsense.

    The apparent criminals died, eh?

    The 1/3 inch holes in their vital organs did them through?

    This is where Americant's get testy.

    Its very interesting.

    Link to the private trade of full auto weapons numbers.

    This will allow us to determine things not true, and who amongst us

    isn't interested in the truth?

    No problem ... if you are a link junky ...

    https://consumer.findlaw.com/consumer-transactions/private-gun-sale-laws-by-state.html

    A little Screenshot out of it ... first colum at each of the states is important ... if you read "None" it means that "Mr. miller can sell his legally bought M-60A3 machine gun to anyone he wants with no check who the one is who buys it if he no licensed dealer"!

    Any further questions or remarks?

    Why is it ridiculous? They enjoy shooting these weapons and have the privilege to do so with the license. What's your problem?

    Aye, me as well. I keep the Judge near by and only load the 4/10's for this exact reason. Do not need any friendly fire incidents.
