Remember the bank heist in CA when the robbers had AK-47s and body armor and the cops had .38 service revolvers and dress blues? That was the beginning. Now cops want full auto M-16s, MRAPS and camouflage gear.

Even the gunners use the excuse that there so many bad guys with guns that they must have guns too.

Does it ever occur to anyone that the answer is to make laws enforceable? Not so much. Every time a felon uses a gun gotten illegally the cry is more guns, not how did he get it and how do we p!ug that hole.
