HaHa I have a Rem 1300 with a slug barrel that will outshoot my Minimal 14 at 100 paces anyday! What does "Deadly Accurate" mean anyway? Is that like "Friendly fast" or "Stubbornly yellow" or even "dangerously correct" ??????? |

I hope the boys in blue get a little range time out side of the city where they can shoot 100 yards. Their is no excuse for not knowing the limitations of your weapon system.
For the city enviorment though the minni is usable as the ranges available in the city would be quite short. I cant see an officer shooting a bad guy at more than 75 yards there. Granted this is not the best weapon nore would it be on my long list of possible weapons but it would work, about as well as a 30-30 lever gun. |

.... deadly accurate Ruger Mini-14 assault rifles, which fire rounds that travel up to a mile. ..as opposed to a not so deadly accurate rifle. Maybe a rifle that you couldn't hit the broad side of a brn with if you were standing inside, would be more approapriate. |

I still think someone should inform them that w/the MP5's, they really have no use for a Mini-14.

Mini-14s are very popular with law enforcement, particularly prison bureaus. Apparently the shitty accuracy of the rifle can be used to explain the shitty marksmenship of average cops and tower manners at the animal storage facilities. Besides, it's cheap. Cops are cheap. Prison bureaus are cheap. Legislatures are cheap. City counsels are cheap. Except here in Waynesboro, VA. The cops drive Police Interceptors that are never more than 3 years old, carry Glock 22s that are rebuilt by some special gunsmith schmoe, and the patrol guns are Benelli M1 Tactical Entry guns with ghost-ring sights. Cool toys. They also have a $60,000 patrol car that has the latest in JBT lighting technology, high-tech cage, bigger engine, blah, blah, blah. We also have a SWAT team for our crime-ridden metropolis of 19,000 that had (horrors!!!) 20 car-jackings last year and 2 murders in the last 6 years. Of course, all that being said, I'm actually studying to be an LEO.

Now who do I believe - This reported who says a mini-14 is an "assault rifle" or the Caliban who say it isn't...
Just you wait, Mini-14's are now going to become classified as assault rifles and they'll come after them, too (not defending the mini14 itself, it's the concept here). |

Aside from the fact that Mini-14's aren't that accurate, it seems like even the gun grabbers would want the police to have accurate weapons. Would they rather have LEO carry Derringers? It's as if they WANT more stray bullets hitting bystanders so they have more statistics in their favor. They are complaining about a gun being accurate????? What a bunch of crap. The police should get what they need for their area, with a little more firepower stockpiled for emergencies, no less. Handing them the deadly innacurate mini-14 is doing them a diservice, they should get AR's.
Watch out guys, the next ban is on guns that can shoot less than 5 MOA!!! SB |

Redmanfms, if you're so critical of your local police dept. who clearly is fleecing the public, why do you want to become one of them?
The Mini may not be too good compared to the AR, but remember that guy Matix in the famous FBI shootout in Florida? I think he made pretty good use of the Minimal 14. I'd sooner have the lousiest .223 rifle in the world versus a handgun in an actual shootout. Firepower is firepower. |

Knowing we have several valuable NYPD members here (and one Mod.), I find this very disturbing for another reason. It clearly demonstrates the modern tendency to have the "leaders" be dumbshit desk jockeys who know nothing except how to kiss the ass above to get the next promotion or political appointment. The idea of "leading from the front" is dead and forgotten. Today's "leaders" have never "been there" and don't know crap about real world demands for any job--even mine (life insurance agent). It irritates the crap out of me to see these stupid f*cks making decisions that could get good men killed using inferior, ill-described junk like the Mini-14. This same idiot will next be making a sound-byte about how the LEO's are "outgunned" while he reviews the "need" for a "deadly accurate Ruger Mini-14!" Where are the leaders who say "[b]Follow me[/b]!!?" [rolleyes]

I said they had cool toys. I also never said that I wanted to be "one of them." I said I was studying to become an LEO, not a Waynesboro police officer. I know most of the guys on the department, they are all stand up types. They do a great job, are courteous, and don't hassle people. The city has given them a lot of money to play around with, so they use it. I can't blame them for getting cool shit. Waynesboro is a relatively cheap place to live (compared to my old home of Fairfax), but does have addtional food, tobacco, and sales taxes that give the city a ton of revenue. For a little burgh of 19,000 we have a ton of city services, plenty of schools, an excellent police force, and zero utility problems. Those aren't things that most small towns can claim to have. |

I suspect a lot of the language, and misconception, in this article is the result of the thumb-sucking newspaper writer who wrote it. But you still have to wonder, why would anyone who depends upon rifles in a professional situation pick the Ruger Mini-14?

The only place that's safe around a Mini-14 is 10 feet directly in front of the barrel.

They probably went with the Mini because it looks more "friendly." Most people get scared around anything with black plastic, though it defies logic.

Waverunner,
Good lord...don't you guys have at least shotguns??? Our Local Sheriff's have AR's and MP5's not to mention their assortment of "assault" shotguns...and we're in a medium size city in Florida..seems like NYC would have shtf situations MUCH greater than here. So, I guess NYPD stills carries the deadly .38 revolvers??? Dang...I guess you've been pc-ed to death in NYC. just curious, [b][blue]NAKED[/blue][/b] |
