If I own one it's an "assault weapon", but when the gov owns one, it's a " patrol rifle". “Gun Expert”

Are they going to prosecute the cop for not having it in a locked container per Massachusetts law?

Rules for thee…

u/Ponzy194598 Mar 23 '23

The article does say the rifle was secured to a mount (whatever that means), but you're more likely to win the Powerball on a Friday than seeing a cop get in trouble.

I think it was lock picking lawyer on yourbue who did a video on police style firearms mounts and they're dogahit for security. A half decent magnet will open one if I remember right

Overheard on the dashcam: "Click outta 1, 2 is binding click out of 3, little bit of movement of the cylinder there back to 2 annnnnd we got this open"

Edit: Unfortunately they're probably very easy. Aside from only needing a handcuff key to open them manualy they have a button inside the car which unlocks it easily.

You can open most (if not all) police car gun locks with a magnet...

This is how I will receive my tax returns from now on.

u/Avtamatic Mar 27 '23

Not to mention on some mount styles you can just pop the takedown pins and remove the rifle in pieces

u/barfsfw Mar 24 '23

I don't know if "secured" is the right word to use in this case.

u/Dipper_Pines_Of_NY Mar 24 '23

The mounts that I’ve seen tend to be similar to handcuffs in how they clamp the rifle in. Without any added reinforcements to prevent shimming them open.

I didn't realize cops were in the business of killing large numbers of people.

Their rifles are a surprise tool to be used for later. Nobody is allowed to commit mass murder except the government.

u/saqmuel15643 All my guns are weebed out Mar 23 '23

The cop had a hunting rifle GUYS. Its totally fine!

Youre 10 round other without a stock on the other hand, that shits a military assault weapon that can remove a lung from your body.

u/iwanashagTwitch Mar 24 '23

I thought 9mm blew the lungs out of the body?? 5.56 is smaller than 9mm wtf?!?

u/saqmuel15643 All my guns are weebed out Mar 24 '23

I can't keep.up all i know is that my AR can apparently take down an entire government by itself

u/iwanashagTwitch Mar 24 '23

I'm stuck on the fact that making the barrel shorter makes it more deadly

4

u/saqmuel15643 All my guns are weebed out Mar 24 '23

Don't you know that SBRs account for a million shooting deaths a day?!

u/iwanashagTwitch Mar 24 '23

Reject modern firearms, return to cannon and musket

1

u/I-Am-Mayonaiseee Mar 25 '23

just remember an AR10 is 5 ARs less powerful then an AR15

2

u/ChinaRiceNoodles Fosscad Mar 24 '23

Yeah that cop has a hunting rifle, for hunting humans. Though they work for the government allows it so it's ok.

u/bigterry Sig Superiors Mar 23 '23

Oh so THIS is where I can get a free sear... Nice!

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '23

Can we just start calling AR-15 and AK rifles "patrol rifles" instead of "modern sporting rifles"? It rolls off the tongue better.

3

u/ChinaRiceNoodles Fosscad Mar 24 '23

I prefer to just call them rifles.

7

u/FrostyNegotiation934 Mar 24 '23

Yup, standard double standards are applied

4

u/KhakiPantsJake Mar 23 '23

Interesting point

4

u/gagunner007 Mar 23 '23

Of course, you wouldn’t want someone running around with an assault rifle!

4

u/Physical-Sundae-1160 Mar 24 '23

Perfect example. No matter how much gun control they try to reform. The criminals and idiots will still go to extreme measures to obtain them.. no matter what. Allow the people to defend themselves against these criminal and idiotic threats.

2

u/Sugoi_Sukhoi47 Mar 24 '23

I mean nobodys rights were restricted in this case. This was owner negligence. Keeping guns in an unoccupied car is not smart

2

u/Physical-Sundae-1160 Mar 25 '23

I’m simply displaying the fact that even if they get rid of guns. The “bad” ppl will still do whatever it takes to get their hands on them.

1

u/Sugoi_Sukhoi47 Mar 25 '23

Yup especially since most guns used in crimes were stolen

1

u/Physical-Sundae-1160 Mar 25 '23

Exactly. Entirely too late for gun control to be effective

4

u/Rhino676971 Mar 24 '23

Ok so my AR-15 identifies as a patrol rifle now it changed from a armalite to a assault weapon to a patrol rifle, it’s 2023 god damit it can identify as whatever it wants to be.

3

u/gibson_creations Mar 24 '23

Fully-semi automatic patrol rifle.

3

u/Broke_UML_Student Mar 24 '23

Thing is…anyone who knows anything knows most rifles aren’t really secured in cruisers. One key that’s widely available can unlock it if you know which key I’m talking about.

2

u/Acceptable-Equal8008 Mar 23 '23

Op, your take away is only partially correct, in a state with heavy restrictions, cops still "need" them. And are improperly trusted as the firearm authority. Then look at that..... they get one stolen out of a cruiser that should never be unlocked and stolen out of a locked storage device.

2

u/DjButternut Mar 24 '23

The elites don't want you to know this but police officers' kits and service weapons are free, you paid for them, you can take them home. I have 376 patrol rifles.

1

u/Sugoi_Sukhoi47 Mar 24 '23

Actually most patrol rifles are personally owned by the officers. They just need to have the specific attachments that the PD/sherrifs dept allows.

2

u/simptom61 Mar 24 '23

Oof, hope they dont have safe storage laws. Cuz that cop is gunna be in trouble /s

1

u/Sugoi_Sukhoi47 Mar 24 '23 edited Mar 24 '23

Locked car or not why would anyone keep guns in a car they arent occupying? Take it in the home. Also civlians dont go on patrols theyre too busy arguing with each other over pointless politics

1

u/JeffersonsDisciple Mar 24 '23

Why they not following safe storage guidelines?
