We're the Only Ones Putting Guns on the Streets Enough

Whoever broke into five take-home police cars overnight Tuesday made off with assault rifles after defeating the locked brackets holding the weapons in place. [More]
See, this is why police should be the "Only Ones" who have "patrol rifles"--if someone untrained like you or I had them, we might do something stupid like leave them unguarded but visible overnight in our cars, and then who knows what evil might result...?

Sounds like it's happening all over the place, doesn't it, with it happening in Sandoval and Bernalillo Counties, and Albuquerque, in addition to Rio Rancho...?

Hmmm, New Mexico.
That wouldn't be anywhere near the U.S. border with Mexico would it?
I wonder if those police patrol rifles have select-fire 3 round burst mode?

That kind of rifle would have definitely been more safe inside my home in either my hands or my gunsafe. :-)

Yet one more example of their arrogance.

No one will dare mess with my car. After all,I'm an only one....

Apparently, the "fail-safe" locks, well.....FAILED.

You see, in order to ensure that cops can access the long guns even if the vehicle's power fails (thus disabling the electric lock), nearly all of them are equipped with a mechanical backup lock, with a key that all cops already have -- a standard handcuff key.

Because, you know, cops are the ONLY ONES that have those....

Wait for the distribution of rifles to Chicago patrol cars. What a haul that will make for the gan-bangers! Oh, that's right, Chicago's cars probably have better gun locks!
