You're right, but it only evens the odds when they have the chance
In a sniper situation, or taking fire from an unk. assailant, the presence and availability of an "assault weapon" is a good thing. Situations like the NORCO shooting and some others would be a great time to have them...when you have the
time to deploy them.
The problem, is in most police shootings and the related calls/activities, there's
little if any warning and absolutely no time to ready them. On you're regular traffic stop, their totally worthless. Most domestics, I wouldn't approach the house with one in hand either. No where to place it when the chit hits the fan.
The problem still boils back down to
manpower and TACTICS
Hell, there are still administrators resisting the active shooter programs????
We need to spend
MORE TIME TRAINING in deployment tactics and high risk responses, and less time in the class room learning how to be politically correct!
Weapons be damned! If you don't have it ready, in most case, you'd just as well leave it at home. One more thing for the little puke bastitches to break into the car to steal
