On the KSL4 News last night:
another shooting and another Five7 taken off the streets. Routine traffic stop - bad guy went for his gun and was shot and killed.
According to SLC PD, this is the third(OMG the sky is falling) Five7 recovered from a bad guy. The media states that this is becoming the "choice weapon" for felons due to its capacity to penetrate body armor.
Ok - that's media - they're screwing the gun community - we all know that. What stunned me is the fact the Chief of Police went on to say that indeed, the Five7 has rifle catriges that are "DESIGNED" to defeat body armor and that his officers are at risk.
He failed to say that my CZ52 $80 will do the same thing, and much better.
What he has also ommited to say is that the SS190 is not available to public and in essece that the Five7 is a 22 magnum at best. He has failed to inform the public that it is THE POLICE RELATIONS DEPT and THE MEDIA that sucker the felons into obtaining this weapon in their(the felons) belief that the weapon will indeed defeat body armor.
Why, If they said that about the CZ52 (in this case a true statement) they'd have a far worse problem on their hand cause for one - its true and second, the weapon is easily obtainable and CHEAP!
The Police situation is almost the same across this country and Canada. The majority of rank and file police officers are pro freedom, pro gun because they understand that if you outlaw firearms, only outlaws will have them. The problem is with the BRASS. They are mostly appointed or elected into their positions and tow the line of the district attorney who is almost always a liberal of some type or another.
