You need to watch Cowboys and TBD!  Practice and knowledge of your weapon will make you deadlier with a lever action, it make you deadlier with a single shot, than ignorance and/or macho attitude associated with "scary black & high capacity."

You got that right......
I've seen some scary fast folks with SA's and lever guns.....I've seen a couple of guys that shoot SxS double shotguns almost as fast as a pump. It all goes back to 'knowing your gun' and how to run it.

To paraphrase the old saying, 'fear the man who only has one well-worn gun....because he probably knows how to shoot it very well'.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

The stories that make the news, always state the LEO's are "outgunned".

Whatever happened to LEO's having tactical shotguns. I would hardly feel outgunned with a semi auto 12g. filled with buck-n-ball or rifled slugs.

That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

A local Sheriff Dept. was give M16's by the army. They were M16 A1's and they were select fire. Before issuing them the Sheriff had the armorer convert them to semi auto.

A good move. We all know that sadly, most cops don't practice with their weapons nearly enough. Think about the last police shooting you can remember. The press doesn't make a big del about it but I nearly always am struck by the AMOUNT of shots fired in most of these. Its bad enough with 9mm, but .223? I remember the Diallo shooting where there was outrage (correctly so) that the police had fired 41 times at the uarmed man. To me, the bigger outrage was that they only hit him 5 times. Thats 36 bullets going God knows where. I am all in favor SWAT having select fire and cops having rifles. Barney Fife on the other hand, is fine with a semi.
