The AK-47 is not a device of aggression ... I devised this machine-gun for the security of my country.

The fact that people die because of an AK-47 is not because of the designer, but because of politics.

Before attempting to create something new, it is vital to have a good appreciation of everything that already exists in this field.

I'm proud of my invention, but I'm sad that it is used by terrorists.

I created a weapon to defend the borders of my motherland. It's not my fault that it's being used where it shouldn't be. The politicians are more to blame for this.

Man keeps inventing things all the time.

Things that are complex are not useful, Things that are useful are simple.
