Cops test suspect's gun in deputy's death
Abstract: The Broward Sheriff's Office is testing a 9mm firearm found with dead cop-killer Shawn LaBeet to see if it was the same weapon used in the still-unsolved shooting of Sgt. Chris Reyka, sources told The Miami Herald.

Assault-Weapon Attacks on Rise in Miami area where officer slain
Abstract: The spray of bullets that killed one Miami-Dade County police officer and hurt three others this week came from something increasingly common on this city's streets.Once solely found in the hands of soldiers, high-powered assault weapons like the one believed to have been used in Thursday's attack are becoming the guns of choice for gang members and other violent criminals. And when they are aimed at officers on patrol, there's little authorities can do to escape. "It's almost like we have water pistols going up against these high-powered rifles," said John Rivera, president of the Dade County Police Benevolent Association. "Our weaponry and our bulletproof vests don't match up to any of those types of weapons."

Is that the blonde who was married to the LaBeet who is a suspect in the murders of those 8 people that you mentioned on the other thread? I can't help but wonder if the Mexicans are illegals?

As sad as the shooting of the LEOs is, the anti gunners are probably going to use this as a rallying cry for another ban on assault weapons! They never miss a chance to further their own agenda.

I wonder if the the AK-47 was made in China, by any chance.

OPERATION DRAGONFIRE - Bill Clinton's 8 Million Dollar AK-47 Deal of 1996

Clinton, who loved the idea of "cold-untraceable" cash for his 1996 Presidential campaign, showed complete and utter disregard for cops on the streets, ... as he signed an import permit for the China Ocean Shipping Company (COSCO) Empress Phoenix freighter to bring in $8 million dollars of illegal fully-automatic AK-47's to be distributed to Chinese Triad gangs in California..

Once solely found in the hands of soldiers, high-powered assault weapons like the one believed to have been used in Thursday's attack are becoming the guns of choice for gang members and other violent criminals.

Once again, the media lies. Assault weapons that soldiers use are full -auto. You cannot buy or own these without a costly permit and vetting process.

Semi-auto weapons, which exist in the millions in this country as hunter's weapons of choice, are not assault weapons because they "look" military. Any semi-auto deer rifle would do exactly the same amount of damage (and don't--unless you're a deer).

"Labeet was found about 30 miles north of the original shooting scene. He was killed by police after an exchange of gunfire in Pembroke Pines."
