Why do so many of the cops responding to the San Bernardino shooting have Mini 14s?
because they arent assault weapons and are much safer than evil ar15s
Americans have absolutely terrible haircuts
Because it's what they have in the armory. Some of those are select fire acc556 rifles.
>>28080365
SBCSD uses AC556 and Mini 14 rifles as patrol rifles because they were cheap, handy, and worked for both off road vehicles, cars, and boats. san bernardino county is pretty big
>>28080460
Biggest county in the United States
>>28080365
Because they needed a 5.56 rifle and mini 14s are cheaper/less evil than an AR.

>>28080587
>mini 14s are cheaper
But they're not.
>>28080781
Me too. It looks industrial and I like it
>>28080791
Not cheaper then your barging bin PSA AR, but cheaper than most respectable options.
>>28080365
That's an excellent question. It's 2015... I'm not sure why this is happening.
Not to take away from the Mini 14, it's a good gun, but for LE's purposes there are better options. It looks like they're all running low capacity magazines with iron sights, as well. I guess it works... until it doesn't.
cuz Commiefornia gun laws
>>28080365
Because they're not as scary as AR's.
No. Seriously.
>>28080799
If Ruger didn't force their proprietary mags on us, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
>>28080896
Same
>>28080365
id assume they are either cheaper than ARs
or even the cops try to have CA compliant guns, which the mini-14 appears to be
>>28080365
They've been using them since the '80s after getting outgunned during the Norco shooting.
>>28080890
this. they had ARs but after complaints they switched.
>>28080411

What about "obesity epidemic" don't you get? It's a disease they got from illegal aliens and there is no cure, you bastard.
>>28080931
But cops are above the CA compliant gun list. Whatever they order they can get. However, they have to turn it back in at the end of their career.
>>28080772
the requirement for police is like one pull up, if you can do that you're a lifer

I saw on the news in the background this evening, a bunch of the sheriff guys were arriving on scene wearing plain shirts with blue jeans with their battle rattle thrown on over it.
For some reason I really like that look, it's almost like the "civilian operator" thing.
Anybody have any pictures of them?

>>28081052

I was told by a few SBCSD Rancho Division Sheriffs that they aren't able to have AR15 rifles because they look too scary for the public. He told me they went to the city council to get approval for AR15 rifles and were denied. Rancho Division doesn't have german shepherds either. Why? Because the city council said they're too aggressive. The Division has bloodhounds instead.
>>28081778
Forgot to add....he said they can't have thigh holsters either. Too scary
>>28081778

>>28081118
Pretty much this. I was born in the San Bernardino community hospital.
Feels bad man
According to a bro I have in a clerks office nearby
>>28081778
is correct.
Remember that winning the court case after the shooting is important, and the locals are less scared of "hunting rifles". The payout for being shot unjustifiably with an AR is higher than with a mini 14.
>>28081607
Juneau's cheapest is $3:19 but then we always get screwed because they can.
>>28080931
Not anymore. Mini 14s are $700, while ar15s that are good enough to fight with are at $550. Minis are better today than they use to be, because they have better barrels now and are much more accurate than they had a reputation for in the 90s.

There's no way they're cheaper than ARs with a contract. Whoever was in charge of choosing a weapon probably just wanted to be a special snowflake.
>>28080365
Because state laws.
>Capacity is exempt on all rifles without assault features.
>>28082679

LEO exemption, and those are PD rifles, not individually owned, so the AW has no bearing on it at all.
Because California has moved away from fossil fuels and now runs entirely on irony and hypocrisy.
>>28082729
Ruger AC-556 in 1974 was $199. the AC556 was discontinued in 1999 entirely, and support died in 2009. very likely these are up for replacement, but they were always very cheap rifles for bulk orders.
LAPD and other agencies got huge numbers of M16 rifles from the Army's DRMO, but at the time they were purchased SBC wasn't exactly huge on cash reserves.
Hell there are LE agencies in the US using SKS rifles (Wisconsin) and others using Galils.

Didn't the Alaska staties conclude that the Galil was the best in their torture tests too?

Companies get charged by a fee by credit card companies whenever you pay by credit card. Credit card companies make out like bandits--paid by companies with each swipe and paid by the customers whenever they pay minimum balance.
Giving people a discount to pay with cash or gift card makes perfect sense, they're just passing on the savings they're getting by you not using a card.

Technically a civilian found him and then they burned down the cabin he was hiding in. Before that they almost killed people for driving an entirely different truck just because he was last sighted driving a truck period.

Nope. I live 5 mins from refineries and its cheaper other side of town and even cheaper in other parts of TX. Makes no fucking sense.
>>28082679
Um, Mini-14s used to be pretty damn cheap ($500 or less from what I've heard) and AR-15s used to be over $1000 for a decent one. Not every gun in the US was bought in the last few years.

Don't give Obama credit. Saudis bumped production to bust US oil industry and keep market share, and now the Saudis can buy them and their intellectual property up cheap. Also hedging strategy against Iran as the nuke deal played out and sanctions would lift, it has impacted investment in Iran's oil sector.
>>28083512
I would not be the least bit surprised if they send a tanker to the cheaper location and then back to the refinery as a result of demand. Transpo is stupid like that.

My departments oddballs are the FN FNC Model 7000, SIG 551, HK417A2-13", HK416A5-11" and 14.5", Galil MAR, HK13E, and the Mk. 18 Type 2 SOPMOD II. The FN M4A1 is standard issue to everyone else. I keep a M7000 in my patrol vehicle. It is a real nice firearm and I upgraded it with an railed optics mount and railed foregrip as required. Interestingly, we have the necessary LMG kits in patrol vehicles that carry the HK13E's. They can be converted with ninety seconds if warranted. They are supplied with one of the 150 round linkless box magazines each and seven STANAG magazines as standard.

Guys no matter what happens I want to thank you for everything, we have some tough times ahead of us but don't forget that you are not alone. As gun owners we are one of the most persecuted groups in America. Social media and MSM wil vilify us for our hobby and lifestyle choice. Gun rights are important to the fabric of our society and must be protected by law abiding citizens. We cannot let the chickshit politicians mandate our entire lives. Firearms aren't always black and white. I love you /k/ God bless and have a nice day.

>>28082576
>>28080365
>>28082679
>>28080791
Because that's what their dept bought, so it's what they were issued. Prior to the first buying surge in 2008 mini 14s were $500 at wal mart and a bare bones AR was around $700. Cut another couple hundred off for a bulk buy for police and you have your answer.
Those rifles were probably bought in the late nineties or earlier. Believe it or not, police and the military keep shit around for a really long time...

Atheists are still the most at-risk and hated minority in the US. Most people in the bible-belt would rather live next to a Muslim, even if they are radicalized than an atheist. Conventional wisdom on the matter (from the perspective of the persecutors) is that any other religious person is merely misguided, whereas an atheist sets out and is determined to be evil.
>>28080365

Are you saying pro gun legislation doesn't get passed? Also, you apparently haven't read about the anti abortion legislation that has been passed in states recently, it's way more ridiculous than the worst state level gun laws.

How old are you? How long have you been into guns?
The AR explosion you are living in hasn't always been the case.
Sure, in 2015, choosing a Mini over an AR isn't a great choice, but that only became clear in the mid-late 2000's. Those guns were probably purchased way before that, and kudos to San Bernadino for at least seeing the value of carbines when almost every cruiser had an 870 in the trunk. They were way ahead fo the time.
