Philly: Assault Rifle, Ammo Found In Car Trunk

I'm pretty much just nitpicking and bitching from here on in.
First off, bringing a firearm of any kind to check in with your parole officer is insanely idiotic. The other stuff makes it all the more worse. His friend seems to have him beat, though.
On the other hand, though, this was no "Assault Rifle", nor was it even an "Assault Weapon". You'll notice, when they pan across the length of the rifle, it has a thumbhole stock and plain muzzle. According to the '94 AWB, this is not an "Assault Weapon" at all. It's a ban compliant Norinco. Neither was the SKS, which was manufactured before the '94 ban, and came with a 10 round non-detachable magazine. If you really want to call them out, it's not even an AK-47 like they keep calling it. It's a civilian model Type 56, which closely resembles the AK-47.
It'd be a shame if he really did have a 100 round drum magazine(and thank god they didn't say clip!) for that. Those things are pretty rare, and go for almost as much as a post-'94 AK goes for. It seems somewhat suspicious that there was a 30 round magazine, a 100 round drum, and nearly 100 rounds between the two. And getting 7.62x39 in such small quantities is usually pretty tricky, someone probably organized a community group buy.
I'm sort of wondering who made the stock on his AK clone, too. It's kinda nice, and might look better on my Saiga than the wood.

Anywho what this is a example on how much drama our wonderful world makes, It doesn't matter what if its a Type 56, to them its a big deadly weapon...
I liked that part "over 100 rounds of ammo", my AR-15 sniper has 8 - 30 round magazines loaded (240 rounds in total) and another 400 boxed up
The sks wouldn't be considered an Assault Rifle in my mind due to its not got the pistol grip or removable high cap Magazines, like a true Assault Rifle would....Just makes the gun owners around the US looks like terrorists
