He is wrong. We do need rocket launchers and more if we are to protect ourselves from an out of control government that has them too.

At the Pomona gun shows I saw people selling the one-use launch tubes for military antitank rockets. You can’t reload them or anything, they are just tubes with handles once the ordinance is gone. An expensive wall hanger.

These were serious guns — semiautomatic weapons, guns that have no place on the streets of Los Angeles

What exactly does it mean for there to be weapons "on the streets"?

So, they insist an rpg7 is unfit for hunting? I beg to differ. Big enough game, and they’re just right.

I saw one of the CNN idiots wetting her panties about this. I knew she was talking about useless empty tubes. Do they have no editors at all.

“”Those are weapons of war, weapons of death,” Beck said. “These are not hunting guns. These are not target guns. These are made to put high-velocity, extremely deadly, long-range rounds down-range as quickly as possible, and they have no place in our great city.” “

Weapons of death that are extremely deadly, he said. Is there any other kind?

I wonder how much he’d pay me for my empty brass. After all, it’s “...made to put high-velocity, extremely deadly, long-range rounds down-range as quickly as possible...”

Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck... said such weapons have no place on the streets of L.A. "Those are weapons of war, weapons of death," Beck said. "These are not hunting guns. These are not target guns. These are made to put high-velocity, extremely deadly, long-range rounds down-range as quickly as possible, and they have no place in our great city."

The 2nd Amendment does not protect the right to sporting goods.

Those "weapons of war" are to kill and destroy standing armies, such as those in the employ of Chief Beck, should they infringe on the liberties of the people using force.

Our Founders would have used those rocket launchers already.

This post will probably get deleted, but it's high time we patriot gun owners stopped hiding among with the Fudds and proudly proclaim what the 2nd Amendment is for.

The Army is getting rid of M16s all the time (old ones), body armor (PSGAT old stuff), PVS4 etc... all the time.

Can I get one of those? I the tax payer bought a bit of it and sure would like a chance at buying one, we are after all selling every other weapon system known to God to anyone that can pay, so why can't I buy one?

If we sell F16s to Egypt and Pakistan today, we “gave” chem weapons to Saddam and then complained when he used them... Hell, the Iranians fly our F14 and F4 to this day! They also have our Hawk missile system, M109s... I am a US tax payer, not an Islamic fanatic and I would like to have a chance at buying some of those military items we sell to others and which I paid for with my tax money.

Discarded LAW’s —fiberglass tubes. Big deal, they look impressive but are completely innocuous.

They only impress people who know NOTHING about them. Of course that’s ALL presstitutes...

If the rocket launcher was for a LAW, it is not a long range weapon. I knew a guy who won a Bronze Star for taking out a VC bunker with one. He did not take out a forest or mountain. They were not made for that and had a limited range and purpose.

Give me an RPG7 any day for long distance as well as up-close fighting. The commies were way ahead of us in light carry rockets, and they carried the rockets in a 6 pack. A Law was a one-tie throw away launching tube. If you missed on the first shot, you were shit out of luck.

Boy this Police Chief is dumb.

"These are not hunting guns. These are not target guns. These are made to put high-velocity, extremely deadly, long-range rounds down-range as quickly as possible, and they have no place in our great city."

The Left are MASTERS at establishing the parameters of discussion. They arbitrarily decide that the Second Amendment applies only to hunting and target arms, they then repeat it ad infinitum and suddenly the Second Amendment reads...the right of the people to keep and bear arms suitable for hunting shall not be infringed".

So if I buy a piece of PVC pipe, spray paint it brown, stick a wooden handle on it, and cover that in black duct tape, think these idiots would let me turn it in as a “rocket launcher” and get free stuff?

Apparently...

And in the next riot many a husband will run to the closet to get his gun and find it missing because the wife turned in a $700.00 firearm for a $100.00 gift card.

Question: If turning in a firearm and getting killed in the next riot, does it qualify you for a DARWIN AWARD?
