I never get this lucky to find one of these
So my wife used to work for buc-ee's, people from Texas will know what buc-ee's is, an employee at a nearby store found three pistolas tossed in the grass by the dumpsters one morning, and reported it. 🤦‍♂️
Volunteered at a raptor rescue in Anchorage in the mid 1990s. Got to hold an injured eagle a couple times while the staff were medicating the bird. I had a plexiglass face shield on just in case.

My reward was seeing those birds who were able released down at Rabbit Creek. I got to release one myself.

Awe inspiring birds.
I've always looked at them like you say, this awe inspiring majestic creature. Until I saw them fighting with the buzzards over a dead armadillo in my front yard. They're just a glorified buzzard.

I like what Benjamin Franklin said about them.

My GOD man, that’s not beautiful, that’s GOD trying to get us all the free electricity that we need to run all of our electric stoves, electric vehicles, electric heaters, electric fireplaces. WE are jsut too stupid to understand how to utilize it. So Sad. Pixie Dust from Heaven and we just throw it away.

I’ll bet sexual deviants and degenerate perverts all over Washington are in tears that us Flyovers have not figured out a way to use this free electricity and save the world from global happiness.

This one time at Knob Creek, a fella got to shoot a select-fire version of this after winning one of the competitions. It was very close to proving itself uncontrollable, at least in his hands. IIRC, dude got an assist from the gentleman that handed him the little HK. Seems like the shooters named rhymed with Choate.

I don’t think that is a real HK product

if I remember is was a company that based it off the HK

But yeah there is no way full auto 762 in that is anything near controlled lol

Certainly not armchair quarterbacking here..... but would a 12-gauge with beanbag rounds be another solution?

There would have been a lot of solutions that did not involve killing her.
IF the person happened to have had any of those solutions on them and ready to deploy.

But if all you have is a gun and nothing else and have not prepared, well you might not have a choice when an insane woman is walking towards you dual wielding knives.

The Police are the wrong tool to use for mental illness events.
There should be properly trained and equipped professionals to help deal with mental health issues.
The police are pretty much always going to just be, kill everyone let the taxpayers pickup the tab.

I understand that. A crazy person running at me with a knife in each hand is probably going to face whatever I have in hand to defend myself. Just spitballing the idea that for mental health calls yet another solution could be available? Again, not faulting the officer she charged. She was suicidal - and knew how to expedite the outcome.
