Of course the cops have plenty of firepower. The left has always advocated arming their governments to the teeth. Why would you see tension there?As long as they don't get something the locals can't legally own, who cares?

Olympia Police all have an AR -15 (made by Olympic Arms, go figure) and a Remington 870 in their cars, along with whatever sidearm the officers choose.
And I could give a crap.
Olympia is considered the 6th safest city in the US of it's size. The cops have guns the people can buy, and the people here can have the guns the cops have if they want. A town full of liberal moonbats for sure, but there is plenty of firepower here.
They have a monopoly on the use of force. You have a...?My point is, we really shouldn't give a crap. I don't care if cops have long arms in their cars. They've got an "assault rifle" I've got an "assault rifle." They've got a shotgun, I've got a shotgun. They've got a handgun, I've got one.
They have full-auto M16s in shotgun racks here in Alexandria. So if the SHTF I know how to get one.:uhoh:
Back in the 70s the Left strenuously objected to riot guns in cop cars as "offensive weapons". And they do NOT have a "monopoly" on use of force. That "monopoly" crap is a key ingredient of KoolAid.sv_libertarian wrote:Of course the cops have plenty of firepower. The left has always advocated arming their governments to the teeth.

I have gotten to know the county Sheriff . I want his department to be well armed . Full automatic weapons are OK by me .
WTSHTF I am still a law abiding citizen .
Collection of about 16 guns and thousands of rounds. So you tell me.They have a monopoly on the use of force. You have a...?
I frankly don't know what to infer of your intent from such an inventory.smoking357 wrote:Collection of about 16 guns and thousands of rounds. So you tell me.They have a monopoly on the use of force. You have a...?
That doesn't follow, actually.It means that if the government had a monopoly on force I would not own any guns.
Why are you're worried about my guns?And if you are worried over a small collection and a couple of cases of ammo, you are probably on the wrong forum.
Why are you so worried about everyone else's?Why are you're worried about my guns?
