Why all the despair?

Some pictures of AK-47 magazines being used for other than their intended purposes made the rounds last week:

The general gist of gunblogger comments was that this was a terrible thing, a travesty, and so sad to see.

Hogwash. I think it's great. Not because I dislike the AK rifle (I don't), but because I would like to see a society where guns and their magazines were so common, and so accepted, that the defective and surplus examples could be freely used for other things without causing apoplexy in the general populace.

I see a garden path made of 30-rounders, and I'm not despondent - I'm hopeful. (Guess I have the answer to why I like sunrises more than sunsets!)
