That’s “patrol rifle.” It’s not one of those scary “assault rifles.”

Like an M4.

Oh wait, it is an M4.

CBS? We’re all reading about this coast to coast?

They should call out the national guard and bring in the FBI as this is clearly a threat to national security.

Oh, so as you said, when the police have them, they’re “patrol rifles,” but when we have them they’re “powerful weapons of war” assault weapons.

Does Mass. have anything like safe storage laws? I know the officer probably won’t get the same penalty that us proles would get if we were to leave a “patrol rifle” in our vehicles and it was later stolen.

No doubt an insurrectionist rebel. Massachusetts has a history of that sort of stuff.

It's different, I guess. Depends on who has possession.

So now it's an assault rifle, maybe.

Yes, my first question as well, what is a “patrol rifle”?

Was it an assault rifle or a defense rifle?

What are those worth? $1000? Who, particularly a “professional”, would break into a police car to steal one?

The cruiser belongs to a trooper assigned to Logan Airport, sources said.

For Chicago airport duty, friends in high places are required.
And several of them.

When I was a kid in Chicago it was a thing to steal billy clubs out of cop cars. Cops don’t even carry billy clubs anymore.

Logan Airport. That’s “F” Troop. I wonder if a Fekawi Indian stole it?

‘They said it “appears to be a professional job.”’

I bet that “locked compartment” had one of those little circular locks that you can unlock with a Bic pen tube :)

What’s a “patrol rifle”? What’s a “cruiser”?

The thieves will be easy to identify; all the FBI will have to do is look at the ATF Form 4473 we all know the bad guys will submit, right? It is the law, after all... </s>

Some police officer is in hot water for leaving his weapon in an unlocked vehicle. 9 times out of 10, nobody would dare to break in.

The right to keep and bear arms shall NOT be infringed. Is that going to be a valid defense if the new owner is apprehended?
Seems to me that the Federal government has lots of guns that are not being used and should be distributed to citizens.
Oh no!

If this particular rifle is used to shoot up a school, we will never be told.

An M4 that’s hotter than a 2 dollar pistol that’s putting it lightly
