I put the blame more on Holder than Reno for the Elian Gonzalez affair, although Reno would have done the same thing, Holder did the dirty legwork. When OBummer picked him for attorney general, he just turned up like a bed penny again, then again, OBummer is one of “Holder’s people.”

I just going to admit I know very little about types of guns, but would like to know more. What the heck kind of gun is that guard holding? It would certainly hold my attention. Looks like it loads from a cartridge stuck in the bottom. Once he starts shooting, could he stop quickly, or must that cartridge empty itself first? It would fire bullets, not pellets right? Is that a gun best suited for long distance shooting? If we had more affordable classes in community college around here, I would like to take such a class. The only training course I know of around here costs over $200.(Bullseye). Didnt police used to offer the public free gun safety classes?
It's an MP-5 or a variant thereof. It shoots 9mm Parabellum (9X19) ammunition, mags hold 30 rounds (IIRC) and they are fully automatic. It depends on the shooter I guess on how fast he can stop the gun, but my guess is between the time it takes to take the finger off the trigger of a firing MP-5, you'll get 5 or 6 bullets out at least.

Thanks for the info. Impressive weapon, likely one I won’t ever get a chance to use, unless it’s a plastic replica.
