Authorities have noticed an increase in high-caliber weapons in Los Angeles. One of the most startling incidents was when a Fabrique National 57, an assault pistol used to kill big game, was found in a victim's car by detectives investigating a double-homicide last year in North Hollywood.
"You use it on large lions, tigers and bears," said LAPD Deputy Chief Michel Moore, commander of the Valley Bureau.
AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
*wipes eyes*
This is an FN 5.7x28 mm cartridge.
This is a tiger.
The Deputy Chief of the LAPD is either really ignorant about guns or thinks reporters are. He's right about the latter, anyway; if the article's author knew absolutely anything about guns she would have fallen over laughing. It's pretty much the equivalent of claiming that a 1964 VW bug is what you use to race in the Indy 500.
(Note to self: DO NOT GO HUNTING WITH LA'S DEPUTY CHIEF. EVER.
"Crap, that bear's coming for us! You loaded for grizzly, Mike?"
"Sure! Got my .22 rifle right here!"
"Aw, crap.")
