What insane gun culture?

Daughter's grades too low, dad pulls AK-47, charges say.

A St. Paul man threatened his daughter with an AK-47 rifle because she was getting two B's in school rather than straight A's, according to a criminal complaint filed Friday.

Kirill Bartashevitch, 51, was charged in Ramsey County District Court with two felony counts of terroristic threats after alleging pointing the gun at his daughter, 15, and his wife during an argument at their house on Jan. 17.

The incident came to light at Central High School when a social worker received a report from a parent who said she had been monitoring her son's electronic communications when she saw a message from the girl.

Bartashevitch had recently purchased the rifle out of fear that such guns soon will be banned, the complaint said.
