Anti "assault rifle" hype. They're just getting warmed up.
If they can get these deemed unacceptable for police, they will use that against the average person having one.
The grabbers have been saying for years that the only application for an “assault rifle” is “killing large numbers of people.”
My counter was to point out that cops had “assault rifles” and ask whether the cops read these people their rights before they killed them ?
In all fairness, under what circumstances is a Chicago PD street officer going to need a fully- or even semi-automatic rifle with a range and penetration factor greater than he can see?
If you think people get upset when a cop makes a good shoot on a bad guy, wait until a child gets killed by a police ricochet or over-penetration by an assault rifle.
Taking them away from the cops after that will only add more fuel to the movement to take them away from citizens. And I don’t think the MSM or Obamanation will come to our aid.
Just imagine what would happen if an SUV got ahold of one of these...
While I certainly want the police to have enough firepower to put these gang thugs down hard, I've known way too many Chicago cops to trust almost any of them with a rifle.
Hell, most of them shouldn't be allowed to possess slingshots...
