Campus cops get ARs - in California!

[PedalBiker]

IF what Feinstein says about "assault rifles" is true then police don't need them.


If assault rifles are designed to "kill lots of people", why do police need to "kill lots of people"?

If assault rifles are not useful for self defense why do police need them at all?

If assault rifles are so powerful why would police use them in a school, let alone in the city anywhere?

If 30 round magazines are tools of "war" why do cops need them, it's not like we send them into combat?


In reality this school district realized the obvious:
1. Rifles are more accurate. Less misses means less chance of unintended casualties.
2. High velocity bullets are less ricochet prone and hence safer.
3. Fragmenting bullets are less likely to over penetrate and hence are safer.
4. A removable magazine is quicker, safer and easier to unload than a tubular magazine.
5. A removable magazine makes an unloaded weapon easier to quickly and safely load, eliminating the need to store weapons loaded.
5. A semi auto rifle will serve a wounded officer who may have only use of one arm.
6. A 223 cartridge is easy to manage due to light recoil which makes accurate shooting easier.


All of which proves that Feinstein wants more powerful, more dangerous weapons to be left out of "round one" of her legislation. And make no mistake this is just round one.

If it's small Feinstein hates it.
If it's cheap Feinstein hates it.
If it's powerful Feinstein hates it.
If it's accurate Feinstein hates it.

There are no guns Feinstein likes but the ones SHE has.

Pistols with standard cap mags and AR-15's are good to go for the cops who work the schools I went to, but I have to run a bullet button on my rifle, to defend myself in the same city.......A bunch of BS.

I think it is a great idea that officers be well armed. They should be free to carry an AR-15 on their person, if they want. I read an article that said the AR's would be locked up on campus and used if needed. Once they unlock them from where ever they are stored, it will be too late.

The second high school (A. B. Miller High School) in Fontana is 40 acres, if I recall correctly. It used to take me all of the 5-6 minute passing period to get from the library end of he quad to the gym, and that was at a very fast walk. Someone could pop off a few pistol rounds in a classroom right across the quad from the office and no one in the office would hear it. Science teachers have clocked the wind on the playing fields of that campus at 80 mph gusts. The wind blows very often in the fall and will kick up through the spring. Just walking around on days like that were tough. That campus had 3,000 students in 1999. A few obvious officers with firearms are not enough to guarantee that an attacker could be stopped quickly. The field can have hundreds of kids on them at one time. If staff could carry concealed, at will, it would help even more. An attacker would not know how many people or who was carrying, other than the obvious cops.

It is great that FUSD has stepped up their game, but it sucks that in Komnifornia we are not allowed to defend ourselves with the same equipment that the cops or bad guys will carry.
