  • point being: mikhail wasn't what you consider to be "evil".
    politics made his creations get used the way they were being, and, well, still are.
    there are lots of gun designers in the world, mind you. none of them have many differences compared to mikhail.
    they don't make guns to throw them at random guys and have them shoot people. politics does.

    the guns are simply tools, just like a hammer. if you make a hammer, and then somebody builds a house using that hammer, it doesn't mean you built the house.

    you made the ways to build the house, and if he hadn't taken your hammer but still had the motivation to build a house, he would find another hammer.

    now I ask you again, did he shoot people? did he make puppies cry? has he ever said he was against your oh so "glorious" america?

    have fun.
    1) It was voyager that was happy about the death of kalashnikov, not me. I just understand why he feels that way. I don't care about his death at all.
    2) I'm not an american
    3) I said morality usually changes when it comes to "evil" people. Note the word "usually" as well as the absence of me actually calling kalashnikov evil. Secondly, my remark was pointed at "no matter who he is", not so much at this specific case.

    So yeah, your answer doesn't really have a lot to do with what I was trying to get at.
    Perhaps we should just continue this discussion in another thread since this isn't about kalashnikov anymore. Could clear up any confusion such as in your post.

    R.i.P Kalashnikov.

    Though the AK is essentially an adapted German design, it still revolutionized the world of rifles and I respect Kalashnikov for having done that. But he was a communist, his creations aided in the oppression of countless people and I'm happy to see him leave this world.

    Edit: I don't blame the guns for acts that were committed by people, I blame Kalashnikov for giving his designs to such evil people. Had he not done so they surely would've found other guns to fill the role, but had I found myself in his place I would've refused to work for them and tried to escape the Soviet Union.

    I agree.................
