I was just listening to a Police Chief on the TV, unfortunately I missed his jurisdiction. But I wonder if anyone can tell me why my colt 6920 is an ASSAULT WEAPON and the very same Colt carried by the police is a PATROL RIFLE. Now I realize that I don't do much patrolling anymore, but I also don't do any assaulting at all.

Because some are more equal than others.

When us lowly citizens possess such awesome fire power, it's an assault weapon. When "others" own the same rifle it's rainbows and unicorns.

Because it ha special magic powers that will cause you to go an a homacidal rampage as soon as you touch it. Only the police and military have the special training necessary to keep the gun's supernatural powers from affecting the person holding it and prevent them from shooting hundreds of rounds into unarmed civilians without asking any questions.

Lots of people are hung up on names...  Arfcom will erupt into a fight over the term 'battle rifle', even though no military actually uses such a term.



In the case of gun control, it gets even better.  A P90s is an 'assault rifle' in your hands, but in .gov's it's a 'personal defense weapon'.

Unless it shoots high explosive rockets it is not an assault weapon, the <k153 SMAW and the M3 RAAWs are assault weapons.

Because they are afraid of being assaulted with them

This is a valid question on a new and interesting topic which hasn't already been discussed here a million times.

Agreed. Perhaps anyone would care to explore police brutality as it relates to the presence of beans in chili.

I am surprised the rest of you haven't pointed out the obvious.

The reason he referred to his rifles as patrol rifles and ours as assault rifle is that he is a two-faced motherfucker.

Police Chiefs are wannabe politicians learning how to suck dicks.

When you add a happy switch and sell them to DHS, they become "personal defense weapons."
