    Nicely done. Looks like we’re in good hands with the professionals of the NPD.
    I do wonder, however, why they carry both a shotgun and assault rifle in their cruisers.

    @Ann. Because, unfortunately, a shotgun is no match for an assault weapon. The logic of why we are the only industrialized nation with thousands, probably millions, of unregistered assault weapons floating around still baffles me, but I think politicians, big bucks and the NRA have something to do with it.
