I lived in NYC for many years. The Giuliani Administration did a study upon the issuance of 9 mm semiautos to NYPD to evaluate the “hit ratio after a number of high profile shootings. The hit ratio was about 8%. 8%! Needless to say, the mayor’s office did not publish the findings.
One of the scariest trends out there is the militarization of police forces, creating in effect para-military organizations without the military training. Combine that with no-knock raids and we have a recipe for tragedy. How many times have we seen mistaken addresses in these raids? I take a backseat to no one in my respect for cops — they do a dirty job. But do I want them uparmed with high penetration rifles? Lord no.
