Hollywood incident: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Hollywood_shootout

The Wiki page does not note that officers ran into a local gun shop to obtain AR-15 type rifles and other high powered arms to try to keep the bad guys bottled up.

Next time the terrorists will probably wear Kevlar like the Hollywood bank robbers. I’m surprised they weren’t wearing it for this mission.

Those guys were meth heads and wanted to die. They wanted a shootout.

Even for the police the anti-gun liberals are out to get them. There's no reason officers should have a long gun in their vehicle. They would if I was mayor or Governor.

As a side note, I’m pretty sure the gun shop owner had a hell of a time getting his firearms back from the L.A. Police. That’s certainly quite the incentive for a civic-minded action by the gun shop owner.
