He's a pretty famous boxer
I don't really mind this

I accept that people can be offended by things.
And it's their right to be offended.
But it's also everyone else's right TO offend.

And just because you're sensitive towards something doesn't mean other people should stop doing it.
It's not even like this had offensive connotations to it.
He clearly wasn't going to shoot anyone with it (because it's not a real gun), and he's claims he's not going to smoke it.
He's not doing anything offensive.

The AK47 is an iconic weapon, in the same way that a Roman Gladius is, or a Longbow.
I'm not saying everyone should have access to guns, but if you're offended by just the idea or image of them, there's something wrong with you. Do people like this freak-the-forget out when they look at the clouds and they resemble a pistol or a knife?

Hes not doing anything illegal so I don't see the problem here
