Title: FOXNEWS Article On Police and "More Firepower"
Post by: TexGun on March 23, 2008, 03:19:48 PM

I'm not really sure what direction this article is spinning, but it seems to stop short of really going anywhere...

It's warning us that the mopes with the radar guns are also uparming with rifles for the day when they will be on the Feds front lines.

This is an article designed to scare the populace. 

The original title from the AP was "Police in rising arms race with crooks ".  The idea they are try to push is "The cops have to have 'super weapons' because they are so common among bad guys"

"High powered assault rifles" my a$$.  You, I and anyone that knows diddley about guns would not call a .223 'high power' and I won't EVEN go into the 'assault rifle' nomenclature BS.

This could be a hand out direct from VPC it is so biased and incorrect! (http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/sauer/angry-smiley-054.gif)

Everybody needs to TELL THEM they're off base. They are the closest thing in the mainstream media we have to someone on "our side".
