Nope. When are they even going to use them? They didn't use them here. If a situation requires an application of force most efficiently delivered by semi-automatic and automatic weapons, that is a situation that should be handled by SWAT or the National Guard.\
I'll even go so far as to state my belief that the regulars among the police should be as equally disarmed as the public.
Um...yes, cops DID use semi-automatic weapons. Do you understand the difference between a semi-automatic weapon and an automatic weapon? Most, if not all, cops are issued semi-automatic weapons like Glocks. What's more, why would the National Guard be handling *anything* like this? Do you understand how illegal that is? The National Guard can't do shit without a governor directly intervening, and sending them to police something would break major regulations about what they are and aren't allowed to do. Not to mention that it would take *days* for them to get called up.
