Though can't a cop be issued a M-16?

Depends on the department

that would be good because whenever I hear the term "High Powered Rifle" I get all sorts of annoyed.

Those don't even get titled automatic. 93r is a sexy bitch. Almost worth the fortune it would cost to pursue a class 3

I've had many discussions with anti-gunners about how self-defense isn't practical....just lay down and let 'em do you........

So far this week, just a quick google....

All the theorists opine about needing specialized intensive training to defend yourself blah blah blah...

It doesn't matter till it's YOU looking at a savage beating, rape or worse at the hands of some miscreante(s).....

For every one of these stories, there are many more that go unreported just because the person had possession of a gun and it warded off a confrontation...

Ask me how I know....

That's because robbers are idiots. You always want to bring a knife to a gun fight.

Though the ninja dude brings up an interesting port (sort of). If all and I mean ALL guns are destroyed, banned, etc then we are left with swords. The problem with swords is that at close range there can't be equals. You put an 80 year old grandma with a 38special vs some 20 year old thug with a 38 special then you really have an equal battle. You put 80 year old Grandma with a Katana vs experienced thug (or Ninja) who uses a sword daily you don't have a fair fight. Grandma is gonna get it.

All weapons are gone then MMA people are going to rule the world.

I don't think a class 3 is all that expensive to get (less than $500 if I remember correctly), it just takes a long ass time, if your local law enforcement allows it at all. The real expense comes in purchasing a class 3 weapon not limited to law enforcement only. I like WWII era weapons. I'd love to get a full auto Thompson, but not at $15,000 or more. Same goes for a Browning Automatic Rifle, but not for $20k+.
