OK,Fox before you pee your panties:
1. I don’t think M-16 is a “high-powered rifle”. I thought that’s usually considered a higher caliber, like a .308 or .50.
2. Are you sure these are M-16s and not AR-15s?

M-16s. I remember when Bill Clinton gave the Los Angeles police force several thousand of these. I bet lots of police agencies now have the same.
Later he also gave them bayonets for the rifles.
