Come to senses it was AK56 assault rifel not a shotgun or an ordinary pistol. In USA you an legally posses a shotgun or a rifel with out any license but possessing Ak56 can send you to jail for minimum 20 years. An AK56 is a gas propelled automatic gun which can fire up to 600 rounds per min. The effective range is around 400 meters. So by using this weapon in Civilian crowded area he could have killed hundreds of people. By no means AK56 is a weapon of defense by defination it is an assault rifle. Common people dont know the difference so they are being sympathatic to Sanjay Dutt.
