I'm not sure what relevance the number of civilian-owned rifles ("military-style" or otherwise) has to the daily life of a police officer. concealable weapons (mainly pistols) are of much greater concern when interacting with the public.
- lostmsu 6y agoHaven't seen the actual numbers, but I would imagine many police encounters are actually home calls.
- JKCalhoun 6y agoYes, I think semi-auto pistols (concealed or otherwise) are likely a bigger concern for police for things like traffic stops. I can't seem to find the number of semi-automatic pistols, only the larger number of firearms (all types) — thought to be close to or over 300 Million in the U.S.
