I seriously doubt that. He probably has a semi-automatic AK clone

No, it isn't. Not every state lets you buy and open carry wtihout a permit. I am, however, reminded of the old saying, "In 25 of 50 states, you can walk into a gun store, buy a pistol, and walk out wearing it on your hip wihtout any kind of permit. 75% of murders happen in the other 25."

If I hadn't heard this from so many people who honestly believe it, I'd warn you for trolling. This is not true. A gun is a tool designed to accurately, precisely, and repeatedly fire a cartridge and guide the projectile contained within that cartridge into a predictable trajectory. The effect of that prohectile is determined entirely by what is in its path, and there are a large number of target, trap, and skeet shooters who would be very upset if you asserted toward them that "Guns are designed to do nothign but kill."
