The Police/Press Propaganda Alliance

"There is no reason at all to have a Mac 10 on the streets at all," said New Haven police spokesman Officer David Hartman.

The Mac-10, he said, is a semi-automatic weapon that can easily be converted to a full automatic gun, which is illegal in Connecticut. [More]
I wonder what he would have done had he been given a set of gunsmithing tools and challenged to do just that?

NBC got even more hysterical, calling it a "military weapon" and a "machine pistol" and...get this..."a Mac-10 military rifle," and Officer Dave gave them the obligatory "no purpose outside the military except for killing and murdering people" spiel.

I did a screen capture just in case they decide to sneak in a change:

Not just "Only Ones"..."New Haven Only Ones"...

Not just "Authorized Journalists"... "NBC Authorized Journalists"...

Is it any wonder that we love them so?

I'm pretty sure that Mac 10 ended up in Hartman's personal collection.

Like a lot of confiscated guns. That the cheap way for cops to build up their collection.

"...love them so..."?

Must be a love-hate relationship. As in I love to hate them.
