WMCtv is reporting a man ran a vehicle into a house and when police arrived ambushed them with a European sks assault rifle,the police returned fire and somehow arrested the guy.We will see about a link for this story. Memphis,Tn area. Millington,Tn is where it occurred.
 
You know, we should be lucky that criminals keep using SKS and don't know how to shoot. Sure, they can fire quicker than a bolt action, but if you get a good shooter with a bolt .30-06 for example, I'd imagine the results would not be nearly as good as most encounters with assualt weapons are.
 
jefnvk,

Very true. The two shooters in the North Hollywood incident are a striking example of lots of ammo and noise - with a corresponding minor impact.
 
You're right, Sword.

The SKS is not an assault rifle, either. Nor has it ever been.

However, to the 'media', anything with more than two shots is an 'assault weapon'. I wonder what the cops used to shoot back?

Happily, no one was injured.
