It's just another misguided attempt to alter the unalterable and inevitable cycle of human life. You can take some wisdom from BSG - nothing ever changes. Even in the end after breaking the cycle they screwed up and killed each other anyway. There's no such thing as safety when it comes to guns in America. We have more civilian armories than military armories - the only country in the world that does. The conservatives will still cry about an irrelevant 2nd amendment, and the government will still bend over backwards to maintain the status quo. Additionally, restructuring and proper enforcement of the law in this country won't do anything to stop gun crimes. It's scientific fact that repercussions do not affect a persons propensity or willingness to commit a crime, especially a gun crime. Finally, the MP5 doesn't lack the range of an M4 when you are talking about urban situations. Even in a real battlefield, engagements are proven to occur the majority of the time at 300 meters or less. All Heckler and Koch weapons are effective at that range. That's not even mentioning how worthless collateral-reducing munitions like frangibles are in real life when you say that the MP5 is safer in an urban situation. It doesn’t end.

The trick is to actually prosecute criminals beyond the full extent of the existing law to make gun crimes more punishable and less inviting. Until we fight the real problem which is not law abiding citizens with guns, but criminals with or without guns, we loose!!!

I like the fact your picture includes the M203 grenade launcher and makes the weapon look more agressive than it is. The M4 is a weapon of considerable range and power. Range is not always an asset in urban conflict, it only tends to add to "collateral damage".(Those bullets land somewhere) As for tactical firing (shooting locks ect,) the M4 lacks the immediate kinetic energy of a large caliber handgun. Anyone with a functional knowledge of firearms and their applications can quickly see this is not the weapon for the job. I feel this weapon is detremental to the very function it strives to acheive, protecting the innocent public.(In a close quarters or urban setting.) If police raids start happening at distances greater than 100 yards this is definatly the tool for the job, otherwise I'd have to go with the H&K MP5. It has better supressive fire capabilities than the M4, all the tactical advantages of a service handgun, and more accuracy than any other weapon in it's class. It also lacks the range of a .223 rifle (but not the power) and should create less unwanted damage to people and property. (dear my opinion doesn't matter because I'm not a cop.... I've met alot of hotheaded cops who can't hit the broad side of a barn. I respect officers for doing what they do, but realize that every job employs a few bad apples... why give them the opportunity to spoil the whole bunch?) The viewpoint of a M4 being too agressive seems like a good thing when you consider that we're talking about Chicago here. Decades ago many of the streets were riddled with .45 casings from the Thompson submachine gun.(Tommy-gun) That is an overly powerful and devastating weapon. This seems like progress to me.
