An AR-15 in the hands of a citizen is an “assault rifle”... But an AR-15 in the hands of a DHS agent is a “Personal Defense Weapon.”
A full-auto-capable rifle in the hands of a citizen is called a “machine gun”... A full-auto-capable rifle in the hands of a DHS agent is called a “select-fire rifle.”
According to the media, all government agents with AR15's are presumed innocent and assumed to be stopping crime... But all private citizens with AR15's are presumed guilty and assumed to be causing crime.
When one citizen goes crazy and murders a bunch of people, the call goes out for ALL citizens to be stripped of their firearms...
Hyprocrisy.
