Showing Original Post only (View all)'AK-47 Bandit' robs banks all over Western US [View all]
http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2020149151_apcaak47bandit.htmlThe FBI says tips leading to the arrest of the `AK-47 Bandit,' who has robbed banks all over the western U.S., could result in a $100,000 reward.
FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller says the same man appears to have shot a Chino police officer at one bank robbery in February, before robbing banks in Northern California, Idaho and Washington.
The suspect carries an assault rifle similar to an AK-47 into the banks.
After robbing the California Bank & Trust in Chino, the suspect is believed to have robbed a Vacaville Bank of the West on March 12. He may have also tried to rob a bank in Sacramento a few days earlier.

But we have been told that assault rifles are not a problem...
What a crock.

Robbing banks is romantic, but it just isn't a profitable proposition anymore.

Right, because a bank robber is going to think "oh, damn, this gun is *illegal* for me to own!" (nt)
