New York is the same state that recently passed the NY SAFE Act restricikng ownership of the same type of rifles to regular New York citizens, with one of the reasons being that they do not receive the same training as SWAT “Only Ones”. To add insult to injury the New York legislature is in the process of passing an amendments to the SAFE Act to exempt police from this law.

We should trust our lives and property to the highly trained members of our law enforcement communities.

And the guardianship of henhouses to our toothless, somnolent watchdogs.

Maybe they use the “spray and pray” training methods. No sight needed then.

Apparently that is why some innocent bystanders were shot a few months ago. I guess the press believed that putting the sights on backwards made the gun fire out that back. Ala Matt Helm in the Silencers.

Lon Horiuchi ROE.

Read somewhere else, 30% or less actually hitting target. But that’s general police force, not SWAT.

I bought a Swiftech reflex sight and attached it to my AK. The installation looks identical to how this EOtech is installed, so either EOtech sights install reverse of how mine does, or I installed my sight backwards as well.

Sounds about right. Cops in Chicago recently shot a unarmed convince store clerk who called them because he was robbed at gunpoint 11 times.

These guys are so stupid that when they [NY State Troopers, armed DEC cops etc.,] were searching for a killer here last year, they searched with K9 dogs everywhere except one area on a hill only 200 yards from their search zone that had buzzards circling over it for 2 days- We told them that the buzzards had found something- They told us 'We are looking a for an armed felon- Do not interfere!"

Of course they never looked in the area where the buzzrds were circling. A local farmer found the body of the killer who had committed suicide there.

My gracious, isn’t that one of those deadly “high capacity ammo clips” I see there? What’s a NY cop doing with one of those things? They shoot people all by themselves is what I heard.

The EOTech 512, 552, etc. with the illumination controls on the back are difficult to turn off and on if a back up iron sight is used. By turning it around, which doesn’t affect how a holographic sight works, the sight can be manipulated with the off hand.

I simply cannot come up with a logic explanation for why or how he could do this! Even stupidity is not sufficient excuse.

SWAT “snipers” generally field $5000+ rifles, yet they consider sharp shooting to be hitting a stationary human at 50 yards.

They consider a 6” group at 100 yards to be exceptional. Your average red neck could outshoot them with iron sights on a ‘94 Winchester.

Your average red neck could outshoot them with iron sights on a ‘94 Winchester.
I learned to shoot at the age of eight with my great grandpa's Model 1894 30-30 octagon barrel takedown version. He purchased it new in 1895 and I killed my first deer with it in 1964. I could easily fire bullseye groups at 200 yards, with iron sights from a bench rest. Just wait until these gun grabbers discover optics and long range shooting. They will probably wet themselves.

Ok Mr. Buzzkill.

They all wanna be SEALs or Green Berets etc

Way too much of these crap

Although ironically that spree is often cited along with the New Orleans HoJo shootings and Jackson MS BLA violence as reasons to have
