Well the chief of police jobs are political jobs, political appointments. In order to get elected it takes money. Anti-rights groups are more than happy to donate money to those campaigns. Its all politics. Its interesting when one starts interviewing the police officers at lower levels, they all support things like concealed carry permits and flat out say that the AWB was really misnamed and should have been called the rifle cosmetics ban. Thats what it was. What banning bayonets does to reduce crime is beyond me but thats what they went after. Whats frustrating about that is in rifle collecting, a single mismatched number or missing original piece drops the value of a collector's piece from say $2500 down to $1000 or less. Thats in a nutshell is why banning bayonet lugs on orginal pieces infuriates collectors. Its got nothing to do with crime and everything to do with ruining the collectible value.
