On November 20, 2013, the City replied to our request and sent these responsive documents, some 97 pages of policies and purchase orders. In its own records, the Sunnyvale acknowledged several key arguments relating to effective self-defense and implicitly concedes that we are correct about common semi-automatic firearms and their necessary components, like magazines. For example:
- Unloaded firearms are useless and not tactically-appropriate for self-defense;
- Modern semi-automatic firearms provide significant upside to those who are forced to use them for self-defense; and
- Magazines having a capacity greater than ten (10) rounds — “large-capacity” in government elitist-speak — offer such material benefit that they are specified for City employees and provided to them at taxpayer expense
The really sad part is that I am no longer surprised at this kind of elitist idiocy. I am still pissed it happens, specially when it involves Taxpayer’s money…. taxpayers that are NOT allowed to purchase and possess the same type of articles The Betters deem necessary for their butt-saving needs.
Is that ALL they said? Surely some one in the bowels of their administration is at least thinking about your request……..
And don’t call me Shirely
