Sir, I think that part of the problem is that Wearing a Vest, is a Chicago cop. Most cops from large cities aren’t gun people. I grew up with a rifle and a big desert to go play in. He probably didn’t and his first exposure to firearms was probably in the police academy.
The end result of this is that he probably has no idea at all as to the characteristics or limitations of a rifle and especially not in a congested environment.
And it appears likely that neither the Mayor nor the Chief of Police in his town, both being gun control supporters, are quite unlikely to understand just how a rifle works either. Most people don’t study the technical attributes of things that they hate.
My guess is that the first time these guys go to a range and try sighting a couple of rifles in, they’re going to discover just how much of an accuracy problem they’re going to have, issuing M-4s as car guns. And odd accessories like flashlights and laser sights aren’t going to help matters any either.
