As we see the dow plunge thousands of points in the past few weeks we wonder if this will lead to a double dip recession. But what's more important is what braught us here. The answer is simple really, after standard and poor downgraded the country's credit rating to AA+ from AAA+ we saw a rapid decrease in markets both inside and outside the U.S.
S&P has held nothing back about why they downgraded the country's credit score Detailed statements from S&P explain how the stalemate on raising the debt ceiling were to blame. According to S&P a country which deserves a AAA+ rating would not have even the slightest of it's lawmakers allow a default to happen.
Current Republican frontrunner Michele Bachmann wanted a default unless more spending cuts were to take place. Even to this day Bachmann stands by her decision that she would not negotiate even if it meant a default. What happened next? After the credit downgrade the Dow dropped and double dip may seem inevitable.
What was so important to Bachmann that she would consider a default? Well heres the thing folks, she and other republicans wanted to cut medicare medicaid and social security for our seniors and disabled. Meanwhile the Republicans refused to budge on han ding out trillions of dollars in tax cuts for the wealthiest 1% of Americans. The wealthiest 1% of Americans own more wealth than 90% of Americans combined.
What does it say about our country that is supposed to be value flourished when we cut 159$ from a disabled person's monthly social security. These are Americans who need our help the most and receive 692$ monthly and you want to cut 159$ while giving away billions to billionaires?

Hello Kitty AK47 Airsoft!
This is custom ak47 airsoft gun. Engraved with "hello kitty" this pink ak47 airsoft gun will put a smile on your face before making you run away in terror. Very neat ak47 airsoft weapon.
In a male dominated sport it's absolutely awesome to see this. This only leaves one question which I hope someone has the answer to - Where can I buy one for my niece?

A common problem airsoft manufacturers face is intellectual property and copyright infringement due to creating replicas of firearms. Some airsoft weapons from Tokyo Mariu such as colt replicas are not allowed in the U.S. This is why a vague unbranded airsoft replicas are what most U.S. manufacturers build. Ak47 airsoft guns is one of these for example. AK47 airsoft guns are very profitable as well for manufacturers due to name recognition without infringing on copyrights.
Some U.S. companies on the other hand negotiate licensing deals with firearm manufacturers. ActionSportGames has licensed trademark rights from Armalite, DanWesson, CZ, Steyr.
What does congress think? According to one US senator who proposed a bill stating:
"Directs the Secretary of Defense to require that any contract entered into or renewed by the Department of Defense include a provision prohibiting the contractor from requiring toy and hobby manufacturers, or merchants to obtain licenses from, or pay fees to, the contractor for the use of military likenesses or designations on items provided under the contract." - rep Rob Andrews
Basically, no fees would have to be paid by airsoft manufacturers for US guns. Unfortunately this bill never made it past the committee.
Ak47 Airsoft guns FTW and not just for us airsoft players!
Thanks for reading and have a good weekend!

Airsoft Used for Training.
Japan's (PTW) offers high quality ak47 airsoft guns with the intention of these toys being used for military and law enforcement purposes. These airsoft guns are made of aircraft grade aluminum combined with stainless steel parts that gives strength, stability, excellent weather protection, and easy maintenance. These guns are the priciest and most sought after in the airsoft world. I got a chance to test an ak47 airsoft gun this summer -
Looks- Visually appealing
Recoil - Almost there, my only complaint being that a real ak47 has a much higher kickback.
Maintenance - Yes sir folks from the folding stock to the trigger, you can assemble, disassemble, and clean the ak47 airsoft gun just like the real ak47.
If you cant get your hands on a real ak47 the ak47 airsoft gun does provide a decent view into what the gun is like. I would still highly recommend these weapons.
