Yeah, that was my first reaction as well. Sub-guns aren’t known for firing really hot rounds. Who could control the thing?

They are banning body armor for the wrong people. If the police had to walk around without armor and had to same weapon restrictions as the average law-abiding citizen, they might act with a little more respect for people’s rights and they might be more supportive law-abiding people carrying firearms outside the home.

We just recently had another.

I don’t think you know LA at all. It was in the Valley, not Hollywood.

A local gn store just handed guns over the counter to help the police.

Doing so for ordinary citizens threatened by a rampaging mob is a felony. I'd have made them wait 7 days.

The police should be able to protect themselves from criminals.

We should be able to protect ourselves from criminals and police.

As another poster upthread mentioned, we should be able to get anything the police can.

First, it was February 1997, 17 years ago ... not close to 30.

And we just recently had another incident.

Wow. Two whole incidents in 17 years. Sounds like a crisis of epic proportions.

Sorry, but I never heard of the guy before. Since he was writing about guns, and apparently as some sort of 2A defender, I not unreasonably assumed he was some sort of an expert, and the notion that Uzis fire some kind of particularly high-powered round like .44 Magnum struck me as odd.

I am not even close to being an expert on firearms, and don’t make any claim to be. Certainly not like many on FR. But some things jump out at me.

There is clearly no end of weenies in the US.

Pity.
