Last night I saw something that disgusted me on KCAL 9, a local L.A. TV station. Some dude robbed a hotel at gunpoint with a Tec-9 (one with a 5” barrel, shroud and 32 round magazine); the act was caught on video tape. The Garden Grove police officer that was interviewed for TV said the assailant had “a submachine gun”, probably a “high-powered assault-type rifle”. What the hell??? A Tec-9 is a high-powered assault rifle? I didn't know that.
The Garden Grove detective then topped off his ignorance with, “it was a very sinister-looking weapon.” What an ass! I wonder what he would have called it if it had been a Winchester rifle...
a high-powered repeater...a very ominous weapon!

The SOB is trying to make a hero out of himself, I say he is just trying to further  his career. Wait until he and his low down pinko cop friends get all guns taken away from civillians, including his wife.  Because of her stupid husband, she will get to stay awake each night (Unarmed) worring about being killed by one of her husbands drug crazed cuffs. What a family man!

Ah, you forget that most of the weapon's bans don't effect the police ... nor their wives.

That's not what I heard, I might be wrong, but I thought the police were not happy about some of the antigun legislation that makes their families vulnerable. What about their close relatives, Mom ,Dad, sister, brother,they won't be leagally able to own a weapon.

i was watching cops a few years ago, and they showed-up at the scene of some l.a. drive-by at a garage. a witness tells the police that the shooters had ak's or sks's, i don't remember which. the camera shows what are CLEARLY some 7.62x39 cases on the ground, and the cop says "oh yeah, that's a .308! that's consistent with the ak-47. doesn't matter if you hide behind a telephone pole with these. very powerful."

i guess they don't tell l.a.p.d.- if you don't know what you're talking about, keep your mouth shut when there is a camera present. it bugged me.  [puke]
