Mr. Medeiros' rifle had a range of "1,000 feet and is deadly accurate," far greater than police-issue handguns, Mayor Lang said.

Well no crap. Handgun vs ANY rifle at 1000 feet and the rifle is gonna be more accurate.

Considering that my deer rifle, a Remington 700 bolt action, is harder hitting and arguably more accurate than an out of the box AR, I guess the mayor wants not just military, but any accurate weapon banned. Anything that outguns a pistol. And no lefty wants handguns left legal.
