nativengine 06/03/20 8:09:11 PM #12:	The police are not the military. For the most part, we have pretty good protection against a civilian threat. Its why theres a difference between the military and the police. If you think police brutality is awful, see what happens when a riot becomes a war zone.

Crazyman93 06/03/20 8:43:14 PM #26:	Gakk86 posted... But civilian weapons are available The average longarm in a police cruiser is the same as any AR-15 or pump action shotgun you can buy at a gun shop. The biggest difference with the Mossberg 500 or Remington 870 (and it WILL be one of those models of shotgun), will usually just be the furniture, it will be functionally identical, and usually you can still buy it outfitted nearly the same way unless local laws forbid it. Hell, I can go into a gun shop and fill out the paperwork for a "military grade" AR-15 right now if I had the mind, but that's mostly because "military grade" is a marketing buzz phrase now. They usually save the real military kit for the SWAT teams since it has a tendency to be more expensive. --- let's lubricate friction material! ~nickels, Cars & Trucks <cite>Crazyman93 posted [p:940146498] in Do police ...
