Why? Such weapons are only useful for criminals and terrorists, according to the DC police. Which are the DC police? Criminals, or terrorists?
Gee wiz, those heavily armed polygamist in Texas were proof positive of the need to use armored troop carriers, fully auto weapons and sniper positions during their raid.
I heard they had armored piercing oatmeal pies they readied for deployment on that compound.
Not only that, the compound kids were ordered to put out all available jax to hinder the armored troop carriers movements during the raid.
Shew......lucky Janet Reno wasn't there. Those deadly polygamist would get what they had coming oatmeal armaments or not.
