a loaded maiazgne for a TEC-9 machine gun, Now that's quite an assumption, if I find a tire along the road, can I assume it belongs to a drunk-driver driven Ford Taurus? As a former police officer, all I can say is stick to the facts, not the assumptions. We recently had a local man arrested and the police found an SKS assault weapon in his trunk, "similar to an AK47 machine gun" it said in the newspaper. Give me a break!
