Before going out to face the night’s work, I was eating and watching Fox News in the break room. It was interesting to see that NYC has a program to armor their police cruisers. A new SUV with add-on panels that are lightweight and can protect against handguns, shotguns and long guns. They feel this will instill confidence and safety in/to their officers.
Now, this is in the city that has essentially banned all firearms. It is extremely difficult, relatively impossible, to obtain, own, possess, or sell firearms in NYC. In fact, even some knives are banned. It is rumored that a small Buck folding knife found in your possession will get you 3 days in jail and confiscation of the deadly weapon. Of course, cast iron frying skillets are still legal.
Now, I’m all for giving our law enforcement officers all the protection they need, but something doesn’t add up.
Either Mayor Bloomberg’s gun bans aren’t working, or the city is spending a lot of money on histrionics.
Likely, both.
Once again, your grumpy Uncle Dave is putting way too much thought into this.
