This is off the FOX news web site.  

It's not an AK or a Mauser so I am not quite up to speed. Anyone know what this might be?

Hard to see but probably a HK G36.

Capital Police.

Can't the U.S. government buy AMERICAN!!

Thanks.

Under what jurisdiction are the capital police?

Or should I say, what is their jurisdiction?

To me, it looks like the rifle Al Pacino used in the movie "HEAT".

Move along.  Nothing to see here.

It appears that even if she had no shirt on it still wouldn't qualify as a BOTD post.[:)]

Heck, there's nothing there to attach a nipple to. [;)]

Kinda looks like Jacko.

Ummm....isn't that a guy? [%|]

It qualifies for NTOD.

I was wonder mfg'r of the gun it was myself.
Naw, I'll stick to the tried and true, CAR15.

Sounds pretty far reaching for some of their duties....

For once I'd Like to say, IBTL![:D]

No tit of the day?

That's because she doesn't have anything for the nipples to be attached to.

God forbid an all natural actress...

She's beautiful.

Isn't that the actress from Resident Evil?

Thats Milla Jovovich, She was in "Fifth Element" "Resident Evil" and "Zoolander" that I know of. She is friggin Beautiful!



COZ

That woman doesn't even have "fried eggs". If I want a surf board she'd qualify.[}:D]

Spade concurs.

Capital Police carry the same type of “commission” as an  U.S. Marshall. While it is not normal for them to leave the capital , they sometimes are assigned to protection details and travel with the a Senator or Congressman..

[i]You're[/i] from Resident Evil.

[red]Check my link to Title 40 of the US Code above....

Here is the link I gave text:[/red]

(f) ''United States'' defined



As used in this section, the term ''United States'' means each of the several States of the United States, the District of Columbia, and territories and possessions of the United States"

Just for the hell of it, I'll post here that the rifle is the 'K' Variant (carbine)

There is a duplicate of this thread that was locked down that I had mentioned it in.  (it was starting to get out of hand to because I mentioned that I had a preferance for the G36 type internals in my SL8 over my AR because it was easier to keep clean.)

*shrug*

Just thought I'd share.

H&K just finnished a huge plant in Georga to qualify as an american company, when they replace all the m16/m4 with the new xm8

It IS a H&K G36-K

Someone smoked crack today...

AHA!!  that's what it was.  Thanks a bunch A, I was sitting here trying to figure it out because most of the Hk world over at HkPro hasn't done anything like that up front. (most have gone to the Compact G36C rail setup with red dot slapped on top)

They are under the control of Congress (not the exec branch) due to seperation of powers issues.  An odd quirk of the 3 branches of govt.

I think jurisdiction is technically all of DC (Article 1 Section 8)

That's an HK G36.

I believe the Supreme Court also has it’s own police force.

My understanding is that, in theory, Executive Branch LEA’s have no authority on Capitol grounds.  Supposedly, this has caused occasional friction between the Capitol Police and the Secret Service when the president visits Congress.

For whatever reason, The Capitol Police have always liked H&K products.  Their issue shotgun is the Benelli M1 Super 90 (which used to be sold by H&K) and their SWAT team (though it’s called something different that I forget) used to carry P7’s.
