“I walked out into the street to see what was going on, there was a man lying in the street,” the witness said. “I assume he was dead because he wasn’t moving.”
The witness tells us the shooting started before police arrived.
“This was not a come at police shooting,” the witness said. “There were men out here shooting at each other before police ever got here.”

I just talking to a friend of mi e who is a retired JCPO and she was concerned that all this stuff could lead to a race war. And she is not a III % or a member of any conservative type organizations.

The deceased suspect in the deadly shooting of Baton Rouge law enforcement officers appeared to have attacked police on his 29th birthday, CBS News has learned.
The suspect has been identified as a black male named Gavin Eugene Long of Kansas City, Missouri, sources tell CBS News. He was born on July 17, 1987.
One suspect was killed and two others might still be at large, Casey Rayborn Hicks, a spokeswoman for the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office, previously said. However, Louisiana state police said Sunday afternoon there is "no active shooter" in Baton Rouge.

You don't have to a member of a conservative organization to read the writing on the wall.

Al Sharpton visiting the White House on 86 different occasions during B.O.'s administration might be representative of Government collusion to magnify Racism and spotlight it, center stage, in the Political Arena.
To me this is all politically driven, not a grass roots movement. Big difference as it is all coming from the top down. The real cause of percieved racial inequality is the Party and politicians that perpetuate the American Ghetto.

The last two purposed big ban bills banned Tavors by name not by feature. I would expect the next one will too. It's for the children after all.

When a gun as expensive and relatively uncommon as the Tavor is mentioned by name in a bill to ban guns and then is suddenly used to kill cops it makes me itchy under my tin foil...

Tavors go for 1,500 to 1,600 which in the same ball park as many piston ARs
The Orlando shooter use an MCX which is also up there in price.
The Dickwad in Dallas used a Saiga 5.45 with mods which aren't exactly cheap right now either.

I thought tavors were over 2k...shows how much I know about them....lol. Still, in comparison to an AR, both the tavor and the sig are "rarer" firearms.

The IDF model was over 2k but it came with a ~$500 optic installed.

Only rare because people wanting to buy them around here are scarce. No one stocks them much because of the price point and everyone now wants a ar or ak. Plus no distributor has had them in stock routinely. My LGS can't find a Scar17 to save the world. He has 3 or 4 people wanting them and none in his distribution system.

Tell that to 111, they can hardly keep one on the wall. Problem they've had is getting the black ones since they sell out at the distributor quicker. Sales of both models have been way above projections and IWI has had trouble keeping production up with sales and is expanding.

well I am speaking of my local guys. I don't get to the stores around you or lex as much as I used to. Darn having to work and all!!
Then it goes to the distributorship like the FN SCAR17. My LGS places do talk about that shortage of "most all guns" problem daily and was worse around the beginning of the year due to their not wanting to pay tax on inventory.
Since Ruger dropped the price on the LCP to 199, my locals can't get those guns because all the big stores have hovered them up to run as "SPECIALS" yet the price is now 199 forever.

Yup. When shit starts flying off shelves, the smaller shops are the ones that get screwed trying to get anything because they don't have the bulk buying power of the bigger guys. Same goes for parts sourcing for smaller manufacturers.
