[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] [b]this is where we have a problem. It may be as simple as a cultural difference but I do not feel that any one should have the same or greater fire power than the police or the military. I am not willing to keep increasing the available fire power to the people only to have a percentage of them stolen because they are not locked up. Yes, I know locking them up is an issue. It is a compound problem involving many different points of view and law. Then comes the militia VS military point of view. Sorry, don't have anything for you on that one.[/b] we do not have the same firepower as the military or the police. i get kinda ticked when the police start complaining about not having enough firepower. lets take the infamous LA bank robbers who wrapped themselves in kevlar and used full auto assault weapons. they had no reasonable plan. without looking it up? they all died is my recollection. they were loaded down with armor and could not move. as a repoman i was denied access to quality body armor. it is actually tightly controlled. go figure that. not allowed to wear protective body armor but allowed to have a concealed weapon. my first point is that the govt tends to be more restrictive rather than less as part of it's nature. my second point is that gun shops GAVE officers whatever they asked for in that robbery situation. had i been on the scene? i would requested 25-06 high power rifle or maybe 7mm magnum.(cuz i am familair with their balistics) both guns are hunting rifles, and they generate more stopping power at 200 yds than a 45 calibre handgun does at point blank. the cops could stand outside the effective range of a full auto AK and snipe. some would prolly choose a heavier bullet since the 25 and the 7 mm are light, but i personally shoot better with a lighter, faster load.. all the armour in the world won't keep you standing up if you take one of them square. those are hunting guns and if you get hit in the hand by one? it spins you around, not like in the movies where people "shrugit off" and say it's just a flesh wound. the cops had no need for full aut0 agianst them, they only needed a couple of good snipers and planty of cover. which they have in form of SWAT. swat does use full auto H&K primarily for entering a room. assault weapons are not magic. they have very specific uses and are not much good otherwise. banning "certain" guns won't make criminals act better. this is a movie mentality thing a la rambo. people have fantasies about steroid loaded arms holding a bouncing machine gun. anybody who's ever fired a full auto weapon is surprised at how hard they are to aim as soon as you pull the trigger. there are a couple like the H&K and the short m-16's that are easier than most to aim. the problem is people not machines [/QB][/QUOTE]
