"One of the guns stolen from Sheriff Smith is a German sub-machine gun developed and manufactured by Heckler & Koch. The gun is so deadly, it is banned in several states, except for use by law enforcement."
That is a fully automatic pistol. Not the semi-automatic type that you and I can buy.
Talk about irresponsible. That gun should have been on the person or locked up at a home or armory.
And for those people that believe only the police and military should have guns, this is another of a long list of examples of how that doesn't work.

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
