The Arkansas State Police have entered into a contract with Berryville, AR, manufacturer Wilson Combat to supply the company’s 5.56 NATO chambered WC-15 patrol carbines. The agreement is for an initial delivery of 375 firearms with the future option of ordering an additional 600 units.
The law enforcement-grade patrol carbines feature Wilson Combat forged receivers and the company’s 14.7-inch match-grade stainless steel barrel. Rate of rifling is 1:8-inch. The guns also ship with Wilson Combat M-Lok handguards.
Other Wilson Combat parts used include its enhanced bolt-carrier group and Q-Comp muzzle device. The carbines are also equipped with the company’s hard-anodized aluminum, mil-spec back-up iron sights. They are windage and elevation adjustable, with A2-style posts up front. Windage adjustment is at the rear, where the user can also select between two apertures—.2 or .075 inch in diameter.
It sure is awesome that those Arkansas state cops will get the chance to use their new gear in more raids like this one.
I’m wondering what Arkansas taxpayers think about buying unnecessarily expensive rifles for their friends and community heroes.

I wonder what they are currently using. If it is some variant of the M-4, and it surely is, and the rifles are worn out their armorers could rebuild them for a fraction of the cost of new rifles. Especially Wilson Combat rifles. I am sure WC gave them a good deal but still. New Barrels, new bolt carrier groups and new springs all around will get most M-4s running good. Many would probably not need some or any of the above.
But I guess saving taxpayer money is never a consideration for any government.

I would hope that a police force hasn’t worn out any significant number of rifles. They are law enforcement and NOT a combat outfit! But governments love to waste money.

How ironic the pigs claim AR15’s are weapons of war yet the badged traitors use them on us daily. Tell me how cops are not an enemy occupying force? Thin blue line of bullshit tax-paid prostitutes.

“law enforcement-grade”
Oh, does this mean it’s prettier than what we sell civilians, but it’s much more expensive and performs the same as the civilian edition?
Yeah, that’s precisely what it means. Too bad for the taxpayers. Good for WC, tho.

When they want to confiscate it from YOU, it’s called an “assault rifle” and a “weapon of war,” and Karen says “it has no place on our streets,” “it’s only purpose is it kill as many people as possible,” and “you don’t need it to hunt deer.”
When the cops want to have it so they can kill you with it, it’s called a “patrol rifle” and it’s an absolute necessity so that our “heroes” can “keep us safe.”

Why do they need expensive rifles for killing dogs?

from a post on fakebook –
“The below is written by an ex-GI, a guy who just happened to be the soldier that picked up and attempted to bring to safety those shot-up kids whose father had been mowed down in Iraq in that most famously horrid Iraq war footage ever, “Collateral Damage,” the same incident that now has Julian Assange locked away in horrible conditions for telling the goddamned truth about who the real monsters are in this world.
This man, this true hero, has battled dark days and nights of PTSD in the 10 years I’ve known him on FB. He’s had a helluva time trying to keep it together, and yeah, he’s just one of tens of thousands of “our boys” and “our girls” who got sent off to save us from ‘weapons of mass destruction’ as told by that Texan smirking chimp.
My last thoughts on this before further keeping myself from breaking things and screaming?
These kids are very, very lucky their birth certificates have ‘Caucasian’ written in the appropriate box on them. That’s a father’s consolation, but hard to tell from his ongoing story from tonight below. Fck.
“I cant stop crying im so pissed off!!! My 12 year old Zane M was in my backyard with his pellet rifle shooting a target with his brother and sister. Wichita police officers came with guns drawn on my kids yelled for them to drop the firearm. Zane thought it was his brother and turned towards the cop and Christian yelled to the officer dont fucking shoot my brother its a bb gun. So they have my kids face down with guns and handcuffs they took Zane to Juvenile detention facility the police told us he would be released tonight. We just got a call from jdf that they were charging my 12 year old son whos never been in trouble a day in his life with aggravated assault on an leo and keeping him even though they knew it was a bb gun. Fuck Wichita police department..i dont even know what to do!”
I know this guy, he’s had repeated harassment from the Wichita PD – Wichita is a Democratic Party stronghold in Kansas – and Wichita isn’t a nice place…
