Mikhail Kalashnikov Dead

This requires an article. This man is the man of the 20th century and beyond.  His influence is immeasurable.  He popularized and democratized the battle gun and gave anti-state forces power, especially in anti-colonial struggle.  No Arab or African can forget the time when he/she first held a Kalashnikov.  It is like remembering one's first kiss.
