Mikhail Kalashnikov, the man who created the AK-47 assault rifle, wrote a letter in which he professed his guilt and regret over his creation shortly before his death in 2013. He explained that he felt responsible for all of the deaths caused by his creation: “The pain in my soul is unbearable. I keep asking myself the same unsolvable question: If my assault rifle took people’s lives that means that I, Mikhail Kalashnikov, … am responsible for people’s deaths.” He expressed that he wished he would have created a tool to benefit farmers instead.
What kind of extreme lack of foresight
what did he possibly think would hapoen when he designed it?????
Not that I’m a fan of guns or anything, But Kalashnikov designed the AK47 during world war 2. He came up with the gun to be more reliable in combat against the Nazis.
The quote is specifically about the guns ‘uncontrolled distribution’.
I can’t believe people are like “herr durr he made a gun he’s bad why did he make it”.
Like… Wars happen, and weapons are developed FOR those wars. People don’t go inventing things like that or the atom bomb in peacetime just because.
