Thread: AR15 in rush hour traffic??

Also saw one where they unloaded an MP5 (or similar) in full auto into a car as it went past.

The cops that got that multiple murderer in TGA engaged him through the windscreen in exactly that manner to begin with, then got out and sent a couple mags his way for luck. Good result. Those AR15s are death machines though, they shouldn't be allowed them

Remember the courier driver and that was an AOS member. 2 others wounded as well.

guess we have that to look forward to

Today an IPCA report cleared the Police in a recent fatal shooting after finally bringing the offender to a stop and firing 49 rifle shots (at probably no more than two car lengths) to kill him. The report states that if was fortunate that it was two AOS officers who were in the right place at the right time displaying "a high level of professionalism.". Jesus bloody wept! What an example of training, competence and marksmanship!

I would have liked (a) what weapons they were using and (b) what the shots fired vs hits on the dead dude ratio is.

I suspect the car soaked up quite a few bullets intended for the guy that was shot. (9mm and to a certain degree 223 hollow points don’t carve a straigh(ish) line through car bodies)

According to the article they were using rifles, presumably .223 Bushmaster AR15's.

I hate seeing AR15s in public. Didn't make me feel safer at all seeing the 'show of force' out the front of the mosques. It was excessive force imo. Handguns in holsters would have been far more appropriate.

When did it become ok to startle members of the public? Frighten children and oldies etc.

How else would they create a climate of fear and hysteria in order to ban semis in record time

I chuckled over the news report out of the USA recently, about a traffic stop where the ninja fatally shot the 2 police officers who pulled him over. There was a pursuit, and a gunfight.
A TV reporter asked the local sheriff "why the alleged offender had 18 bullets in him ?".....his answer: "That's all the ammunition we had available ". Sorted.
