Police Wonder If They’ll Need To Confiscate Assault Weapons In Event Of Ban

48. Whoa, please. When you say:

Why are they talking about it instead of doing it?

The answer is in how the process of government works. The cops don't make the laws, only the legislatures make the laws, a well-known fact.

Because they know if they get those things off of the streets, they'll be less need for cops.Taking them off of the streets is bad for business.

Police forces across the country are suffering cuts in funding and some don't even come out to some towns because they are being disbanded and crime has gone up when that's happened. Those threads are on DU.

There is no benefit to the police to have assault weapons all over the place. Those weapons being in the hands of the public lessens their chances of going home alive. Cops don't want that and most support the Brady Bill.

You might want to re-think how you come to the conclusion that cops can enforce laws not yet written and why they'd enjoy more people being able to gun them down along with the rest of the public. Perhaps you'd change your views.

BTW, I want those all of those guns taken away. The military is the only ones who need them. Just my particular view.


Peace Out.
