Perfect. It's now ready to replace the M16. :D

When I was in Rio, I was at a BOPE HQ and got a tour of all the weapons they had, I held that very gun and was stunned that they still use it.

From death comes life, so I was told.

Yours truly from a hard day at work.

The BOPE are really amazing, they didn't understand why we used blanks or that they even existed.

Going back again, (crossing fingers) see if I can take some pic's.

Nice, Al! Did you visit the BOPE HQ while you were down there filming "The Incredible Hulk"?

EDIT: Oh, yeah, obviously...hence the reference to blanks.

That's a pretty cool emblem, although the antiquity of the flintlock pistols sort of clashes with the skull and dagger.

Most murders are drug related by virtue of being gang related, so it would actually make homicide detectives jobs (and the jobs of all law enforcement) a whole lot easier to just axe this gigantic bloated Sisyphean assault on common sense.
Again I will reiterate that eliminating the goal of a job to make a job easier is not the answer, it's just stupid as the problem is still there.

This is the Just Guns subforum, movie discussion not necessary. And I don't have a "pothead" agenda, I have a freedom and liberty agenda. Banning something because you don't like it is the exact opposite of what being an American is supposed to be about.

No argument there

Yes we have a right to destroy ourselves. Our lives are our own and what we do with them is our own business.

And when you say "so what" to things like militarization of police and building more prisons, you are completely ignoring the cost of it all. The increased need for prisons has lead to a massive private prison industry that creates a conflict of interest in which it is profitable for the few people in charge to have as many people incarcerated as possible and at tremendous cost to the taxpayer. The militarization of police has lead to gross misprioritization of law enforcement resources, with SWAT teams being deployed to terrorize citizens over misdemeanor worthy amounts of drugs because they get kickbacks from the federal government. There's a county in northern California that made severe cutbacks to its sheriff's department because of the recession, and now they almost only enforce drug laws because it's the only way they can keep themselves funded.

Additionally, property seizure laws that allow law enforcement agencies to auction assets seized from drug suspects have lead to rampant corruption everywhere. Off the top of my head, a simple example being that in many places, if some jackass steals your car and later get's arrested with drugs, you don't get your car back at all. The police keep it.

And no it's not my opinion that the drug war is wasteful, that is undeniably established fact. Why? Because it accomplishes absolutely nothing. Drugs are not at all harder to obtain, everybody who would be using drugs if they were legal already are, and imprisoning them does nothing at all to curb their behavior. It is literally money down the toilet.

And you're right, legalizing drugs will not make the drug problem go away. Nothing is going to make it go away. Drugs always have and always will be a part of the human experience and nothing can change that. Legislation and imprisonment is not how problems are dealt with. You mentioned the Netherlands? Here's an even more relevant example, Portugal. Portugal legalized all drugs for personal use, and what happened? Enrollment in rehabilitation programs skyrocketed, overdoses plummeted. Holy shit how did that happen?

I agree with burt about how the prisons are overcrowded. We need to use the death sentence more often and for more offenses

I think you copy and pasted that. And I have bever seen a SWAT team used for misdeameanor offenses, and what you said about seizure law....well, is false, if your car is stolen and used for drugs, you keep it, the state can only seize if owner was the one selling drugs, and only i owner sold drugs in that speicifiv vehicle, thats why drug dealers always have 2 cars....a nice on to show off in, and a crappy one to go out selling in.

Also, was wondering, whats your image of how a police force should be? No SWAT? No power to enforce drug laws?
