AK-47 assault rifle used in Lansing’s Lenore Street murder of 19-year-old woman

by Wes Thorp on July 27, 2010

One of the weapons used in the murder of a 19-year-old south Lansing woman on Friday night was an AK-47 assault rifle, according to the Lansing State Journal today. Its story says:

According to the felony complaint read aloud Monday in court, three guns were used during the incident – two handguns and an AK-47 assault rifle. The men went to the house to steal money and/or a controlled substance, according to the complaint.

The story raises the question about how many times automatic weapons such as the AK-47 assault rifle are used inside the city.  Have they been used before and what does their use indicate about the availability of such weapons to the criminal element.

AK-47′s are semi-automatic. Way to try to use propoganda and lack of facts to try to take away 2nd ammendment rights.
