Firearm Weirdness

We are constantly bombarded with propaganda that states that "assault weapons" have no other purpose in life besides killing as many people as quickly as possible.  So I have to wonder what exactly New York City is thinking when it's giving them to police officers who will patrolling in a very closed environment.  Setting aside the whole ignorance
displayed by describing something as a carbine rifle (a carbine being, by definition, a short rifle) it makes me wonder just what masses of people the NYPD is planning to quickly kill...and whether they've given any thought to possible injuries and death to innocent bystanders.

Nah.  The NYPD doesn't have to worry about liability for killing innocents.
