Why? Such weapons are only useful for criminals and terrorists, according to the DC police. Which are the DC police? Criminals, or terrorists?

The most disarmed city in America? Or, are they expecting some post election problems when the new president proclaims himself dictator.

I don't understand ,I thought that gun bans which disarmed citizens would show the criminals that they didn't need their guns and they would disarm so as not to violate the law!

No law enforcement body should be able to possess any firearm that is forbidden to private citizens.
If these kinds of weapons are forbidden to the public, then those who are touted as public servants should be held to the same standard.

Give the police full auto rifles too. So what? We citizens never had a complaint about that.

I thought law enforcement was exempt from all the hoops we have to jump through.

Once they have them, they will use them.
All you D.C. residents better duck and cover.
Don't forget to lock your doors........oops, never mind.

The BATF will still consider them machine guns.
Clinton gave Los Angeles full autos in the 1990’s, then he gave them bayonets so if they miss they can stick it.

The Metropolitan Police Department has joined other major U.S. cities in arming patrol officers with assault rifles to protect them against criminals with high-powered weapons hmmmm......another *sanctuary city* now armed with assault rifles.....is anybody connecting the dots ????

"We want to be as accurate as possible and have more stopping power," ROTFLMAO.
The gun can't be any more accurate than the shooter, and NYPD is not know for being particularly good shots (some snipers aside of course).
Stopping Power and AR-15 semi-auto also don't belong in the same sentence, unless they are chambered for 7.62x39 or one of the new 7mm short cartridges, like 6.8 SPC, 6.5 Grendle, etc. or even the really big bores like .45 Bushmaster, .50 Beowolf or .458 SOCOM. :)

Me thinks this be a bit of "compensation" for the upcoming Heller decision.
Quick!! We need more guns! Really big guns!! The Supreme Court is going to let the peons arm themselves! AH-H-H-H, THE SKY IS FALLING!!

They can’t do that. Assault rifles kill people.

Is this the same city that went all the way up to the Supreme Court to ban private ownership of guns?
