Another lesson from LA is that all bank robbers should use full autos ... for all the 100s of round fired, there were zero fatalities of civilians or police officers. If those bank robbers had a bolt rifle with three rounds only, there would probably be three dead people, because the robbers would have bothered to aim, knowing they only had three rounds.

Well, you have a point. However, that incident would have ended much faster had more cops been equipped with accurate rifles they had been trained on. Half a dozen cops, backed off 100 yds and on higher ground, could have picked off the robbers, one at a time, with well-places shots.
I really dislike the quasi-military nature of today's police departments. They aren't fighting a war; they're fighting individual criminals. One criminal; one shot.
