TV News Anchor in Libya Brandishes AK-47 During Broadcast

Business Insider:

A newscaster on a pro-Muammar Qaddafi television show wanted to make a point about the greatness of the Libyan leader.

He used some serious firepower to do so, bringing an AK-47 to the anchor desk to prove Qaddafi's willingness to arm his people.

"I'm ready at any time, awake or asleep, to defend the country. This is our weapon," the anchor said.

"I pledge to you dear leader that I will sacrifice my last breathe, my last bullet, my last drop of blood, my last baby and child for you."

Editor's note: At least one Blaze reader believes that the gun involved here is an AK-74 and not an AK-47.
