This sounds more likely. I mean, fully automatic assault rifles. What cop actually talks like that? That sounds like TV personality and anti gunner terminology to me.
BRPD said 3 were stolen but I didn't mention a number of full autos. They just said "some". At minimum, I would liberally view that as 2 or more. Personally, I'd use "a couple" if it were 2 but I can't speak to their reasoning.
A few months ago, the ATF cracked down on Glock full auto switches coming from China that puts a switch at the back of the slide. I don't see a switch on the Glocks I see in the picture. I don't know if any other smaller pistols can be converted. I don't have experience with AK's so I don't know it the AK pattern pistol would have external clues if converted. There are 4 AR pattern weapons. One is a rifle (the only rifle in the picture) that could be 5.56, a pistol that could be a 5.56, and 2 Quarter Circle 10 9mm pistols. There's a magazine over the AR15 pistol lower but the other 3 ARs don't appear to have the 3rd pin. They could have drop in auto sears. Does a DIAS work in a Glock mag AR9? Is it possible any full autos may be part of the later investigation and the picture is of the seizures in the initial investigation?
If they drop the pistol or if they pass it off to a non-felon, an illegal SBR would make things much more complicated.
As the silent majority we keep loosing ground because we allow the left to frame conversation.
I was at the range last week in the country about 30 miles outside of Nashville. It's a 100yd range on a game reserve. Two cars of young black kids got out and proceeded to the firing lanes carrying I'd say 1000 dollars worth of ammo and 6 glocks with the extended mags. With that they had 3 AR's. They all were the typical "thug" look, pants sagging, etc. They had no safety sense at all muzzles were pointing everywhere. Finally they started shooting. All of them broke out the Iphones and started recording as they ripped through the mags like the Glocks were belt fed. I made my way to my truck to get my pistol just in case someone had the idea of jacking all my stuff since we were miles from anywhere. These kids shot up all that ammo in 30 minutes and packed it in. The conversations they were having scared the crap out of me. They were in some gang and talked about busting caps in folks. Robbing drug dealers and making them beg for their lives. I thank God my buddy and I made it out of it safe and sound.
I can walk and chew gum so I’m going to say both our points hold a great deal of truth in them and are not in opposition to each other. My point is when you allow them to frame the conversation they will force you to take a defensive position. As you know defensive positions are meant to withstand attack but it only takes time to be defeated. That’s why the saying ‘the best defense is a good offense’ is timeless and true.
Something like that happens, just stay in your lane. And leave something loaded.
