We're the Only Ones With the Right Hands Enough

Thieves broke into a Utah County Sheriff's vehicle early Tuesday morning in Lehi and stole two very dangerous assault weapons that authorities fear could be used in other crimes.

"We're very worried because we don't want any weapon getting into the hands of anybody in the public because, you are looking at a sawed off shotgun and an assault rifle," said Utah County Public Information Officer Dennis Harris as he looked at the damaged vehicle.
Left unsaid is why "peace officers" need what the antis continually describe as "weapons of war" and "killing machines." I woupldn't be surprised to find a "bullet hose" or two in there somewhere. But did you catch what Harris said? That's "anybody in the public," not just the thieves they provided this grand no-mental-health-or-criminal-background-check-required opportunity to.

Why?
In the right hands police said these weapons protect the public, but in the wrong hands they present a major threat.
And we all know "the right hands" are "Only Ones" hands.

"Sawed off shotgun"???

It wasn't short enough for them already the way Mossberg made it?

So is this just more journalistic hyperbole or did an Only One actually take a hacksaw to a perfectly good Mossberg?

Reminds me of the "40 reasons to ban guns"

37. "Assault weapons" have no purpose other than to kill large numbers of
people. The police need assault weapons. You do not.
