One of the most startling incidents was when a Fabrique National 57, an assault pistol used to kill big game, was found in a victim's car by detectives investigating a double-homicide last year in North Hollywood.What an idiot.
"You use it on large lions, tigers and bears," said LAPD Deputy Chief Michel Moore, commander of the Valley Bureau. [More]

I saws the "Updated 04/02" rev note and my first thought was this had to be an April Fool's joke.

Now now David, I think we might consider a different approach.
Since Deputy Chief (hock) Moore so earnestly believes that "you use it on large lions, tigers and bears," I might propose that we simply arrange to drop him into remote Botswana with nothing but a Five SeveN (which I am assuming all this fuss is about) and he can take care of any lion problems the locals may be having with his wunderpistol. If he produces a pile of lion corpses with it, he will prove his point, earn the lasting admiration of the locals, and garner my enduring respect.
See? The problem will take care of itself.
(For those who don't know it, the Five SeveN fires a .22 centerfire that might be described as a smaller, weaker .22 Hornet.)
Article title: Deadlier weapons triggered arms raids
Are there various levels of deadly?
There are indeed various levels of deadly. There is immediately deadly, such as when fed agents of some alphabet agency attempt entry at my home, unannounced. Then comes eventually deadly, such as when a socialist asshole is "elected" President, enacts draconian gun control, and reaps the results. Then, lastly, absolutelyfuckingdeadly, when a miscreant decides on a hot entry to my home, or a bureaucratic enacts a gun seizure scheme. Michael Moore. It is to laugh.
By "high caliber weapons" do they mean something other than Daisy Red Ryders?
When they were describing arms sales in California's neighboring states, I was flashing back to descriptions of the U.S.'s armed invasion of Cambodia to interdict North Vietnamese weapons shiopments on the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
Texas is "nearby" California? There is profound ignorance displayed there on a multitude of subjects!
Deadlier weapons? In almost 40 years of law enforcement and corrections I’ve investigated more homicides where people were killed by .22 shorts, .32 caliber, and bird shot than any other “deadlier” weapons. I would think that fact would make the smaller caliber weapons much more deadly than the larger caliber firearms
Is the Fabrique National 57 an assault pistol or a big game pistol? Make up your mind! Or, does it really make a difference to those of you who want to ban all firearms?
Your statement: “Assault weapons are illegal in California. But they are legally sold in several nearby states, including Arizona, Nevada and Texas.”
It would be more truthful to tell your readers that, “Firearms that are not actually assault weapons but are classified by California law as ‘assault weapons’ may be purchased legally in several other states.” Assault weapons may not be purchased legally anywhere within the United States. Get your facts straight.
I'm with you Anonymous! The poor fool probably flunked 5th grade geography as well as reading comprehension.
Did he mean real lions and tigers and bears, or the stuffed variety??
The FN 5.7 would mess-up Teddy (bear, not Kennedy) a bit, I guess.
I couldn't help myself...
