Also stolen were two magazines holding between 40 and 80 rounds of ammunition and the gun case, police said.
--What, they don't know the size of their mags? lol "There is significantly more power in an AR 15 than a regular handgun," said John White, Denver Police spokesman --now an AR is a handgun? just not a "regular" one? The AR 15 is considered to be a specialized weapon that could be potentially hazardous in the hands of an untrained person, police said. --personally, i'd rather have an untrained person trying to shoot at me [:)] |

Ah crap!
I didn't know my AR-15 was more powerful than a handgun. Damn. What the hell am I going to do with it now? I mean, something like that "could be potentially hazardous in the hands of an untrained person". Better get myself trained before I blow off my foot, or something. Hum, wonder what that hole is in the end of that long metal thingie? Hey, any of you boys know how to use an AR-15? |

Gosh. I guess I better get some training quick! Here I have been using my AR15s in much the same way as I use my other rifles - but it is obviously more dangerous - being a specialized tactical weapon and all...
What an idiot... |

We're all in big trouble if there is really one of these things out there on the street. I'm going to go lock my front door now and then go hide in my attic. Let me know when they find it. |

Oh my! 1 bullet for every pull of the trigger? Things like this should be banned. I think you should have to do a combination of key turns and trigger pulls to fire it. And so it doesnt look all evil maybe it should shoot flowers and have a button instead of a trigger.

The article in question must be viewed in the context of the audience it intends to address. That is, the cloistered, non-shooting/evil-black-gun-fearing, skulls-full-O-mush readers that haven't the slightest clue about firearms, and whom seem to share a common opinion that the law is a phenomenon unto itself, rather than a codification of some greater/higher sense of a moral consciousness (And don't ask how the law ever came into being in the 1st place). This, in concert w/ writers who fall into the same category - except that they get paid to publish & profer their opinions as fact to said general public - guarantees the type hyperbolie that is common currency in modern rags.
C'est la vie. |

Quoted: "The missing gun is a Colt AR 15, described by police as a powerful and potentially dangerous tactical rifle often used by SWAT officers and only given to a small number of officers on the force." RANT ON: Mine is a [b]Rock River Arms AR15[/b], described by [b]me[/b] as a powerful and potentially dangerous (in the hands of the wrong person) semi-auto carbine often used by [b]me[/b](OFF-DUTY of course) and paid for by [b]me[/b] because the NYPD doesn't trust ANY officer with ANY firearm, and if you are lucky enough(super hook) to get on a particular detail which allows you a long arm, you'll get the mighty [b][red]Ruger Mini-14![/b][/red] RANT OFF: We should force the police to carry less dangerous weapons, like the FAL, M1A, or Barrett semiauto. [rolleyes] Consider me first on line for an M1A please! |

Some one stole two police shotguns here in Tulsa about 2 weeks ago. I thought the they kept these things locked. MAYBE they should put trigger locks on them to keep unautorized people from using them.

Yeah, some kids around here got into a cop car in the cop's driveway, which the cop brilliantly left unlocked, and got a Mini 14, a tac vest, and a "pepperball gun." This thing is a paintball gun cops use to fire OC-filled paintballs. The kids then robbed a Circle K with the pepperball gun and shot the clerk with it. Good thing they didn't use the Mini.

There were a couple of auto-break-ins not long ago, here in N. Texas. Cops would park their personal vehicles at restarants, and their toys would be stolen while they were eating.

Oh nuts, they're "specialized" and "shoot a bullet each time you pull the trigger"?
Damn it. Mine's not that specialized! Mine will only fire a bullet if I load it, charge it then pull the trigger. These special issue AR-15 thingies are sounding better all the time. Glad I got me one. Now to get trained so I can tighten up my 1.5 inch groups, before I get dangerous or something! |

Well, the lost AR turned up and is fine.
A teenage girl heard a bang and a crush, as a car started in front of her house, and found the black rifle pretty much in the gutter. Happened right in front of the house where the parked police cruiser was parked, when the gun was "stolen". The girl hid it at a playground, and later handed it to her mother, who in turn called the police. |

He he, they can't even get their rifles straight. The pic provided appears to be a AR10T, not sure if it is an Armalite, but definitely a .308. So would that still make it a 'powerful and potentially dangerous tactical rifle'??? |

City Councilman Ed Thomas, a retired officer, likened the incident to the former "Andy Griffith Show" on television, in which Deputy Barney Fife had to keep his single bullet in his shirt pocket to keep from having accidents. "Andy had to take the bullet away from Barney, and that may be the case here, too," Thomas said. "It could have been a real tragedy, and the department is lucky." That's classic. At least we're not the only ones who recognize the idiocy in all of this. |

She said if it wasn't for my knowledge, she would have thought that this horrible machine gun weapon that could shoot through engine blocks had been stolen. (And not even full auto!) Thanks to KMGH Channel 7, Denver for your sensationalist reporting. regards, legrue |

The shotguns in Tulsa were in one of those racks. They busted out the windows in the 2 cruisers and got one rack open. On the other crusier they took the rack and the shotgun. It was on the news last night. Crimestoppers. |

Did any one catch the little drawing in the denver post article. It said the AR-15 had a 600 - 900 round per minute rate of fire. Now how'd they do that. You gotta have a fast finger and be able to change mags awfully fast.
