I'm confused why in the era of .300 BO, anyone is going to 9mm carbines.
If I were a liberal, I would accuse the Westchester police of using sinister military assault weapons against helpless unarmed civilians. But, because I'm NOT a liberal, I know that's not true, and wouldn't ever consider that a valid charge.
