That is stupid.Abviously those fucks making those decisions are not on the street,in the line of fire.The cops in the big cities need effective firepower,along with good training.They need to be properly armed,the thugs and gang members are heavily armed,and they would love to know that the local patrol is limited to 10 shot clips.

What a novel idea, require those who enforce the laws to live by them. I wonder how many of these police organizations, unions, chiefs assc., departments, etc that rally for gun control will sing a differant tune when they have to play by the same rules as the rest of us?

Making the Cops use 10 round mags is a great idea.
They always operate with plenty of backup anyway. And they are "Trained Professionals". And yet the idiots in Congress who voted in favor of the Brady Bill seemed to have believed that us mere Citizens should use 10 round mags. Even though when we encounter a Burglar in our Kitchen at 2 in the morning, half-asleep, untrained, and with nobody else to back us up, we are supposed to make due with a stinking 10 rounds of Ammo. Hell Yes, I say let the Cops make due with 10 round magazines, same as us.....It may teach some of them a few valuable lessons.... |

Not only that, they should not have flash hiders, bayonet lugs, folding stocks, or tax free full auto unless all law abiding citizens are allowed the same freedoms. Criminals are already banned. How's that sound??

i believe that cops "should" use "high-capacity" magazines, like i "should" use "high-capacity" magazines.
since there is a law prohibiting the manufacture of high-capacity magazine for us jubjects, then police should choose to abide by the same law. i know this may seem anti-leo, but is not. it is pro-continuity. [:)] justice lib |

If that went into effect how long do you suppose it would be before a proposal stating that citizens will only be able to own 8 round magazines surfaces? To keep the police from being "out gunned" of course. |

I don't understand what the fuss is about. Everybody knows that "high-capacity" magazines are only used for assaults, and spraying bullets with fully automatic bolt action sniper rifles.
Seriously, if being able to purchase a new high round clip is not a right of a basic citizen why should police need them? Now to see if the cops, who claim they don't speak up for our rights to carry high capacity magazines because they are not allowed, instantly have the right to a public opinion once this comes into debate. |

Here in Calif, the state gov't passed a Sat. Nite Spl. ban law for civilians, but there is an a exception for the police/military. Even though the police have an exception, the lawyers are advising the local jurisdictions to not carry any guns that are defined as Sat. Nite Spls for liability reasons.

Interesting bit of nonsense from the "we don't know which end of the barrel the round comes out of" croud.
Let's see' seems to me I heard something about equality under the law. Yet, the penalties for assaulting an LEO or murdering one are more stringent than they are for Joe citizen. And the same is true for hate crimes. If someones hates you when he assaults you then his penalty should be greater. If he likes you, but still beat the crap out of you, then go easy on the BG. Just so long as hate wasn't involved. Let's see, seems to me I heard something about equality under the law. |

Ah yes..."what goes around...comes around.."
I look at it this way. Generations of Police Officers served WITHOUT semi-automatic handguns and WITHOUT "bullet proof" vests... They can do it again... Seriously though...what no one really talks about is the increased ratio of misses vs. hits during armed confrontations by police officers since they turned in their revolvers for semi-autos. I think police would be better armed with 44 Magnum, 45 Colt, 475 or 500 Linebaugh Revolvers..than with small caliber semi-autos with high cap magazines. Typical trigger pulls for Semi-Autos is around 10 lbs...typical trigger pull for a revolver is about 3 lbs (single action). This would make for fewer misses. The larger calibers would increase stopping power. Exemptions are coming to an end..it is only a matter of time. |

Why don't you people actually go out on patrol in a sector car...better yet, foot patrol: more interaction with the public, on a busy Friday or Saturday summer night (4pm to midnight shift) in a "nice" busy section of Brooklyn, and tell me how much you appreciate the fact that you have those 15 round mags. Untill you people start wearing bullet resistant not "bulletproof"(no such thing) armor to work everyday and finally realize, "hey there are people out there that tried to spit/punch/kick/stab/shoot at me today!!!!" you start to realize that maybe you wish you had something bigger than a 9mm pistol with ONLY 15 round magazines...[pissed]

Every time I hear the line "it's the police chief's and not the duty officers" it reminds me of how much BS there is in the world. First of all if that was true why don't you hear the duty officers speak up? I think it has to do with the fact that the laws being passed don't affect them so they don't care.

Waverunner - I think that most of us here support the police being equipped with any equipment they realistically need.
We just don't like the double standard. Why should the Master's Enforcers be priviledged enough to have hicaps and body armor when we poor plebes are denied the same? I know police don't make the law. We just protest that the police don't have to live under the same law. Here in Maryland we passed a whole bunch of crappy gun law last year under the guise of protecting police officer's lives. By the time the bill was passed, the police were specifically exempted from this bad legistlation. Now they are trying the same thing with banning body armor - to protect the police. What about the poor tax payer? We aren't allowed to carry a gun to protect ourselves, and now we won't be allowed to wear armor to protect ourselves. Why the double standard? |

I think its a great law, whats good for the ordinary law abiding citizen is good for the police officer. It helps restore a balance of power. Maybe they should set the example. Besides who needs more than ten rounds. The should also be required be to plug thier shotguns not to hold more than 2 rounds in the tube. Its all fine and dandy when your not the one with the crappy end of the stick. Now that they might get the crappy end of the stick they can see how it feels. The easy way to fix the problem is get rid the politcally correct mag law. I am sure all those officers are glad they pushed for the Assualt weapon ban now.

Amen!!! I fully support the arming of police to what ever level is needed to combat the BG's. Since when did they ever get into a shoot out with law abiding citizens? Doesn't the term "law abiding" sort of exclude that possibility? Except of course if the police themselves are not law abiding. Criminals are already banned from owning or possessing guns. All of these stupid restrictive laws against law abiding citizens should be repealed immediately. Will it happen? Probably not any more likely than further restrictions on police arms. LEO's need to get vocal about this, both for their own sake and for the sake of those of us who don't break the law. We may _be_ your backup someday.

Since the police force is there to serve the civilian population, they should be required to carry whatever the civilians are limited to. In a free state, full auto is accepted, and for New Socialism (York) single shot .22s |

The ten round limit is just as stupid for cops as it is for the average citizen. Hopefully by highlighting the stupidity of limiting cops to ten rounds, people will realize it is just as dumb to do it everyone else. Do they actually think a guy with a gym bag full of ten round mags and whatever gun he chooses to use is any less dangerous? |

Don't stop with NY. What's good for the masses is good for the police. Expand the 10 rd limit to all LE including the feds. It's about time these stupid laws applied to them as well. Aren't we the ones they're sworn to protect and serve? Why should we be subject to this type regulation and not them? BTW I'm a supporter of my local police and have several friends that are in their ranks. I apprieciate the job they do but I can't see why honest, law abiding citizens should be treated in the untrustworty manner that most gun laws imply.

What pisses me off is the price differential. "Pre-ban" Sig 226 15rnd. NIW, $50, same mag with LEO markings, $10. Same with the LEO only AR15s. They're just a regular configuration with bayo lug, flash hider, and telestock. We're getting reamed, fellows. Funny thing is, I still have 15rnd and 16rnd. mags for my EAA Witness (among others). So can anyone tell me what this law accomplished? If you say "artificial scarcity" you get a cookie.

Where is the line drawn? I agree that there should be NO mag capacity bans, on ANYBODY. To me it's unconstitutional and sets a bad precident since LE an military can have them. To me that's a government with too much control issue.
Anyway back to the topic, I don't see cops having 10 rounders any time soon. Especially in NY where cops are up against small armies. It's not right that cops should be limited to 10 rounds, just like it's not right for the rest of the country. |
