...to back that up? You have to prove that they actually are prevalent, you can't just use a few anecdotes. See, we just have statistics showing that most crime guns are cheapies. Now, if you have studies that disprove this, I'd like to see them.

And we do issue police with "fully automatic assault rifles". SWAT certainly, and I've seen city police officers in DC toting around G36 rifles. I think some SWAT units even have grenade launchers, and I know some have armored vehicles.
