“Last month, Leader Scalise successfully completed induction chemotherapy and had a positive response. It has now been determined he is eligible for an autologous stem cell transplant. He is currently undergoing the transplant process, marking a significant milestone in his battle against cancer. Once the procedure is completed, he will be recovering under the supervision of his medical team and will work remotely until returning to Washington next month,” the statement from his office said.
Looks like House Republicans are down another vote.
They fire the same rounds but I wouldn’t really consider them a knockoff. SKS was made sort of as an answer to the M1 carbine and other lighter shorter weapons. This was in comparison to the Mosin Nagant which is a big beefy boy and hard to lug around. Also the SKS was designed 4 years before the AK47.
I was never a big “gun guy”, so my limited exposure was during the gun shows of the 90s. They’d always have AKs and SKSs (I believe they were Chinese manufactured) on display/sale. Extended family members bought a few just before Michigan’s (now expired) ban went into effect. As a kid, they all looked about the same to me (fired the same ammo, interchangeable clips, etc).
So I learned something new today and I appreciate your response.
I’m all for gun control but the guy who shot Scalise did it with an SKS and a handgun. Neither of those are classified as assault weapons.
I thought the SKS was a knockoff AK-47?
