How long will it be before we read of them busting into a 92 year old womans home, shooting her, and planting drugs on her (like happened in Atlanta). When boys have toys, they want to use them.
It's the Moose Limbs !
A quote from the article:
*********************
‘This is a very, very different injury from the common handgun Saturday night special wound we see in urban trauma centers,’’ Ryder Trauma Center orthopedic surgeon Dr. Gregory Zych said.
*********************
Again, the article is spewing horse manure. Zych does not seem to understand, wounds from a hunting rifle will be a lot worse. The bullets from .223 or 7.62x39 will not do as much damage as a .270 Winchester, .30/06, or .308 Winchester, let alone hunting rifles such as 7mm Remington Magnum, .300 Winchester Magnum, or any of the Weatherby Magnum Rifles.
So... He was an illegal that was released on bail, instead of being detained as a clear flight risk. He should have been convicted jailed and deported, or found NG, and deported. I note that the liberal treatment of criminals is the problem, not the gun laws. I wonder if the pic on the stolen ID presented matched. Also, the person that had their ID stolen must have reported it. Why wasn't there an entry in the NICS dbase about that?
"Miami-Dade police Sgt. Jose Somohano died in the shootout;"
I thought he was ambused by the suspect, from a window when approaching a building the suspect ran into.
"three other officers were injured"
Officer Wright was ~66yds away when she was hit in the leg. Seems the other 3 were overwhelmed by the ambush, not the rifle. I think it was the building's cover that gave the perp the advantage, not the rifle. Even at 66yds, she could have shot the suspect.
I have no problem with cops keeping semi auto rifles in their units. As long as the politicos leave mine alone.
“Palm Beach County has already gone this route and is using money obtained in drug busts and sale of confiscated property to fund purchasing assault rifles for their police department. - FlA”
The main reason unconstitutional money seizures by law enforcement will never end.
More good news...
Bullets are to cartridges as flour is to bread, as cement is to concrete.....etc. When will they ever learn?
Oh yeah, everybody knows that if you make AKs illegal all the bad guys will stop using them. I wonder if that moron Chief of Police thinks that there were no AKs available on the street during the years when Clinton's AWB was in effect?
I never cease to be amazed by people who seem to believe that if you pass a law against having a gun, then criminals for whom breaking the law is a way of life will obey that one law but not any other law that gets in their way. The only people who obey gun laws are law abiding people (maybe that's why they're called law abiding??) who aren't a threat to anyone to begin with.
