more Orange County rumors...

I agree with curtisfong. The Roster of "safe" handguns is complete and utter BS designed to significantly reduce and eventually eliminate handguns available to the average Californian. There is no moral issue here when you have an unjust law that defies common sense.

How could cops think that selling full-auto components to gangbangers would turn out well?

Is there a story where cops sells machine guns to gang members?

Look up "Eric Holder"

I'm putting 2+2 together. I could be coming up with 5 though.

I'm assuming the cop(s) in this story are connected with selling gangbangers happy switches for Glocks. Evidently there's a drop-in device which converts them to full-auto.

That might be borrowed from the common core curriculum; the Glock switches were being sold online, the peasants didn't need a roster exempt person to acquire them.

Common core is asinine.

Not to high jack this thread, but the "Einstein" that was instrumental in common core is the same person behind the proposed SAT scores "additives".

Having said that, I would assume these weapons were properly transferred to the new owners, putting aside the "for profit" aspect, is this any different that an an inter family transfer?

[Bhobbs]

I see absolutely nothing ethically or morally wrong with cops flipping off roster weapons for profit.

Cops support and enforce anti gun laws that create a roadblock for certain guns. Cops then use their privileges to profit off that roadblock. How is that not unethical?

I agree that is unethical. But you are confusing two different kinds of cops

1) CLEO that run the union (they're politicians)
2) rank and file LEO that just want to sell a firearm they purchased to someone else

Rank and file demonstrably have zero influence on CLEO and their associated politics. This is the system as designed. They're grunts and always will be grunts. Their personal feelings about gun ownership is entirely irrelevant.

There are alot more rank and file then chief's... If they demanded change, they would get change.

[Spyder]

Sort of like how there's more gun owners in CA demanding change than there are politicians making laws, and simply demanding change makes it happen?

Because the rank and file police officers care more for their benefits and pensions than anything else, they vote for their union representatives and the policies that they generate. Every law and policy that their union supports is entirely the fault of the rank and file officers.

There is no argument or excuse that you can argue against that, the rank and file police officers are directly responsible for every gun law that the police unions have supported.
