From the Russian Times we learn that Mikhail Kalashnikov, inventor of the AK-47, has died. The AK-47 is the most popular gun in the world, and was even used by U.S. troops in place of issued M-16s in Vietnam after they grabbed them from captured or killed Vietnamese.
If you're interested in reading about the inventors life story and the AK-47 Mikhail Kalashnikov's "The Gun That Changed the World" is an accessible and quick read. I read it about 5 years ago.

Lord of War was a gripping movie. Never looked at wars as political and money making until I saw that movie when it first came out on DVD. The intro was insane:
The question Cage asks and the making of the bullet are unforgettable.

And Cage "lobbying" for guns reminds me of Aaron Echhart in Thank You for Smoking and lobbying for tobacco.
This scene was just as captivating:

Cage telling Hawke he would walk out a free man because he sells to the enemy's enemy. Operation Fast and Furious comes to mind.
