#1 "There were shots into the air as part of the protest outside."
Perhaps they'd have enough bullets if they stopped all their celebratory and tantrum shooting into the air.

#2 Yeah, but if they did that, they wouldn't have a reason to ask for more bullets...it's all part of the seething.

#3 "...this mob behavior must end."Good luck with that. When "mob" behavior gets you what you want, then why stop?
As for the bullet mushkalla, seems that Hamas isn't having that problem. Maybe the police need to find out where Hamas shops for AK rounds.

#4 That's easy, beagletwo, according to dianne Feinstein and Chuck Schumer they get them at US gun shows. That's where all terrorists get their weapons.

Interesting theory given that neither M14 nor M16 rounds fit in Kalashnikovs. That let's us with rounds imported to the US for those gun collectors who have about every model of gun ever produced Kalashnikovs included and thus need the ammo. But that it is a limited market so I would swear that if what you want is Kalashnikov rounds then it is easier and cheaper to shop in, say, Peshawar

#6 Peshawar may not be your best choice:
"...evidence that up to 400 tons of Kalashnikov ammunition had been shipped from Albania and Serbia to Rwanda with the involvement of Israeli, Rwandan, South African and British companies since the end of 2002."

#7 JFM - the whole family of AKs are much more common in the US than you'd think, especially given how cheap the SKS was last decade. I know a number of people with either or both, and I don't run in particularly gun-crazy circles.

Either way, the weapon of choice in Palestinian territories these days is the M16, since we dumped a lot of them into the hands of the PA, which let them go right out the door and into the hands of Hamas, and other malefactors. With US-supplied Egypt next door being a prime source of smuggled weapons as well, I'd wager that the only people waving around AKs in the Strip are the guys who got stuck with the thirty-five-year-old-plus hand-me-downs from the days when the Soviets rained equipment on Nasser.
