#2 They were destined for the Revolutionary People's Howard Dean Brigades (Their battle cry: "We're gonna go to New Hampshire, and South Carolina, and Missouri, and Oregon, and Washington, and New York and California . . . YEEEAAAAAAAGGGGHH!")

#4 Hmm - 1st missing nuke fuel rods and now small arms. Looks like the People's Republic of Vermont is looking to up the anty. I'd also look deeper for any ties/connection to the French Canadians in Quebec. Those bastards are involved with this somehow!

#5 Damn, armed Deanie Babies, a scary yet somewhat laughable vision.

#6 The Vermont People's Liberation Front today threatened to turn New Hampshire into a "Sea of Fire" unless their demands were met. Among these are a land corridor to the Atlantic and a unlimited line of credit at New Hampshire state liquor stores.

#7 1. Assault weapons ban sunsets in September 2004.
2. Century is an arms wholesaler.
3. The moment the assault weapons ban lifts, everybody in the US who hated that law will want to rush out and put their hands on an AK to celebrate.
4. The company with the most assault weapons on hand when the law dies gets to make a handsome profit on all that pent-up demand.
5. But if you obey the law then you won't have any assault weapons on hand to sell.
6. So don't obey the law. Hence this story.
Moral: Uh, I don't know. Maybe "if there hadn't been a f*****g assault weapons ban in the first place this sort of thing never would have happened."

#8 You guys are all wrong.

The AKs are for the armed uprising of the good New Hampshire wannabes of Killington against their oppressive Vermontian overlords.

#9 NY Post: Century's Web site does not show that the company sells AK-47s, a weapon commonly associated with terrorists and guerrilla movements around the world.

The dubious importation aside, funny how the usual suspects didn't see any problem when the Soviets were handing 'em out like candy to the 'oppressed'. Guess dealing in 'em domestically to legitmate buyers is another thing.

#10 Time for a new Ben and Jerry flavor:
"AK-47 nuts in every scoop", maybe?

#11 Come on, you all, make some sense.

CAI is a well-known importer of surplus arms. I have a Czech VZ-24 Mauser that they imported. There is a whole passel of people out there who collect military surplus, curio, and relic firearms. One of the best advantages to collecting such weapons is that they're cheap cheap cheap. Ammuntion is likewise cheap.

In short, this is nothing about nothing. Some exporter didn't do their paperwork, or thought to evade taxes and make some extra cash. CAI is reputable, and wouldn't risk its reputation like this.
