  • @baker70romeo Its a Mossberg 590A1

  • anyone know what shotgun they were using?

  • @mysticsicness These weapons are not military grade. I hunt with a shot gun and an 18yo without a permit can buy one after a fourteen day waiting period. The 18yo can also buy the assault rifle you see in this video because its semi-automatic, meaning it only fires one bullet per trigger pull. Now my brother, a US ARMY soldier, uses "military grade" weapons that would make you shit yourself. And just an FYI, most accidents that officers are killed in involve another driver.

  • @clap5 just so you know the 7.62x39 round IS NOT Ban in CT. And yes AKs are legal in CT. Only if it's not chamber in a 7.62x39. CT did not ban the round, just the AK47 chamber in that round. I'm a active shooter and I know a couple guys who owns PTRs, AR15 and SKS chamber in 7.62x39 round.

  • @ClarkKasheta The Manchester shooter was a terrible case however "Thornton was alive when police got to the scene but killed himself before officers got to him". Thorton took himself out the police didn't get a chance to do anything. They are a reactive force and don't need Military Grade Weaponry just the their standard 9mils and such.

  • @mysticsicness You're logic is strange. I'd rather the police be better armed than criminals, especially when they are faced with wackos like the Manchester shooter. They need to be ready for everything. The weapons in the video are used only on extreme occasions.

  • @ClarkKasheta well since the #1 killer of police in the U.S. is highway accidents I would say they need better vehicles and to wear their seat belts. They do NOT however need more weapons to abuse. Save the weapons for SWAT or the DEA. Basically the SMART MEN that can for the most part be trusted.

  • Just got my CT carry permit.

  • @mysticsicness So, you want the police to be more vulnerable?

  • @clap5 Doesnt matter, you were still wrong. And youre still stupid.
