The war on drugs is lost, let the addicts get their fix at a clean government facility at prices low enough to put the cartels out of business!

Victorian Police To Get High-Powered AR-15s

Source: THE AGE
Quote:

More than 700 police will be trained to use high-powered semi-automatic rifles, with frontline officers expected to take immediate action to confront terror attacks and active armed offenders.

Deputy Commissioner Shane Patton said on Wednesday that police will buy 300+ AR-15 30-shot semi-automatic rifles, with the guns expected to be delivered by the middle of next year.

Police from the public order response team (PORT) and four regional hubs – Geelong, Ballarat, Morwell and Shepparton – will be trained to use the rifles, each valued at nearly $6000.

The semi-automatic rifles are part of an increasingly hard-line response to the threat of armed offenders which includes giving police snipers greater authority to shoot to kill.

Mr Patton said police would not follow the London tactic of having specialist foot patrols carrying the guns.

“Police officers will not be patrolling the streets with the rifles as part of general duties," he said.

"Unless they are responding to a critical incident, the rifles will be securely stored at the police station or in vehicles and the community won’t see them.”

The Age revealed in March that police would get military-style automatic weapons to deal with high-risk incidents, such as sieges and terror event and to combat the
proliferation of gun-related crime
.

The weapons will be kept in stations and specially built pods inside police vehicles.

Mr Patton said they would be used as part of the active armed offender policy, where first responding police are expected to take immediate action rather than wait for specialist units in the case of a public attack.

“Let me be clear, it will be a very sad day if the rifles are used but the reality is we need to be prepared if an active armed offender or terrorist attack was to occur in regional Victoria,” Mr Patton said.

‘‘We need to be able to quickly respond to a threat.’’

He said police had thwarted a series of mass murder plots where offenders were trying to buy heavy powered weapons.

Mr Patton said police trained to use the heavy calibre .223 weapons would have access to multiple magazines.

‘‘Police need to be equipped to take out the threat to protect the public.’’

He said that the mobile PORT units meant the guns would be available at any threat in Melbourne ‘‘within minutes’’.

“These incidents [involving active shooters] are usually resolved within 15 minutes and if we expect police to take on heavily armed offenders we need to give them the necessary firepower,’’ Mr Patton said.

‘‘They will only be taken out when we plan to use them.’’......
continued

If the Police get them, soon criminals will have 'em too!

Victoria Police are getting a Bigger arsenal to deal with Bigger Threats.

There isn't a weapon (rifle, handgun) that the police have that the criminals haven't been able to 'beg', 'borrow', or 'steal' from them.

Soon they will all have America's 'Favorite Sporting Rifle'.........

Quote:
The AR-15 is now the most popular sporting rifle in the U.S. According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, AR-15 style rifles accounted for an estimated 61 percent of all US civilian rifle sales in 2016. The National Rifle Association reports that Americans own more than 15 million AR-15s today.

That was way back in 2016.....many estimates are well over 20 million today

Eventually, the criminals will be importing them themselves, because as you know Customs & Border Security have never been able to keep everything out.....they can only inspect a small percentage of shipping containers.

The Black Market will soon be flooded with AR15s.

They will get through.........They probably have already.

But don't be too, too scared.......good, honest, law abiding Australians will never be permitted to have them, even though they have proven to be wonderful weapons for self-defense.

Oppps, I forgot, self-defense is never a legitimate option for firearm ownership anywhere Down-Under.....well it's ok just for law-abiding cops......but ordinary, law-abiding, Australian Citizens will never, ever be trusted with such scary, dangerous, uncontrollable weapons.......even to defend their lives, or the lives of their families like Americans do every day......tisk....tisk....

"Some Washington big shots like others around the country are readying for the potential further outbreak of the coronavirus by stocking up on “prepper” goods, including pistols, rifles, and ammunition, and reaching out to camps where they can hide out.

Stores that sell freeze-dried food and bullets have also seen a surge in sales. Justin Anderson, the marketing director for Hyatt Guns in Charlotte, North Carolina, one of the nation’s largest, said ammunition is the top seller. “I’ve seen a notable spike in the purchase of bulk ammo, which is usually a barometer of people’s fear in these types of situations,” he said, adding, “The person with the most ammo wins.”

Toilet tolls are the high-value asset ..er.. commodity. Having a spare magazine in the small room is different now.

Yes, that's what Mr Trump used to say, Mort, back when he was anti-corruption, anti-guns and pro-choice, remember?

Steve Bannon used to love this about Mr Trump. He'd say whatever he was told. He has no shame whatsoever in changing his stance - on anything. Largely, this has to do with him not understanding his stance in the first place. Bannon described a discussion soon after meeting candidate Trump. It went something like this:

The Bible Belt need you to be pro-life, Mr Trump.

No problem, I've always liked life.

Pro-Bible?

I love the Bible, great book. An eye for an eye - great stuff.

Pro-Jesus?

A great guy, a real inspiration.

What things inspire you about Jesus?

The eye for an eye stuff. Really amazing.

I think Jesus was against that, Mr Trump.

Yeah? Why would he be against eyes?

Er, don't worry, we'll get an endorsement. Benny Hinn said he'll do it.

Yeah? He's great - a great TV presence. He'll get the Latinos too.

He's Portuguese, actually, but...

No one'll know the difference, believe me. Pity he's not black...
