The 'undocumented gun dealer' did not have an early, original, probably full-auto milled-receiver military issue AK-47, photographed in a nice side view with high grade lighting and photo quality.

Is your photo from the police record of this event- the particular rifle featured and the photo quality say no.

It's like posting a photo of Joseph Stalin and claiming that it IS Joe Smith from down the block.

This is misleading, sloppy jounalism.
