More police and the AWB idiocy
Fort Worth police are upgrading their arsenal to include AR15s, which is a good thing. They’re doing so to avoid being outgunned. However, I think the police chief has no idea what the assault weapons ban did, he’s a liar, or that he doesn’t know shit about guns:
Mendoza said that acquiring the weapons is even more of a priority since the expiration of the assault-weapons ban last month.
“We were going to do it anyway, but from my perspective, that adds more weight and more credence to do it as well,” he said.
Mendoza was among several police chiefs nationwide who had supported a continuation of the ban.
“I think it’s a disappointment to this organization, to the chiefs in the larger cities of the United States, that the legislators didn’t listen to some of the top law enforcement officers in the country,” Mendoza said.
The same weapons were available when the ban was in place. I don’t think it matters to the man on the street if that weapon has a bayonet lug or not.
