Easy to see why the cops in the land of the free get nervous when pulling someone over.....

I know! I and everyone I know ALWAYS get shot and murdered. Happens at least twice a day! It sucks. Got any ideas to solve the problem? I think we should ban keyboards, pens, and pencils! Then the world would be free of spelling errors.

I'd suspect that's a professional security vehicle. The distance between the seats means that's a pretty big vehicle, and the firearms are not your usual hunting stuff. The way they're laid out and the opening towards the driver means it's set up to respond quickly to a threat.

My bet is on some private bodyguard company for executives or VIP's...something that looks like your normal run of the mill big Yank SUV from the outside, but inside is a different story...

What's the source of the image?

How do we know it's not just a security guard truck. Something you'd expect in one of them.

Whereas Islamic militants go into a shopping center in Kenya, seperate out the Muslims, and start blasting away, or a suicide bomber walks into a crowd at a funeral in Iraq and kills fifty people and no one bats an eyelid.
But gotta keep guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens here in the west, don't we...


I've been trying to find a link to that image, but looking at it, I still think it's either unmarked military or some professional security vehicle. The weapons look paramilitary or specialist too, possibly even SWAT or similar...a modified 1911 Colt (very modified), an M4A1 with an optical sighting device on it, a pump action pistol grip shotgun...all in olive drab, kind of points in that direction.

By the way...the dash is a Chev Silverado.

"The system holds an M-4, Shotgun and hand gun securely."
heres a pic of a M4 without the sight.


"The mount design is the industry standard in law enforcement. We are currently building the ConsoleBunker for all law enforcement vehicles, including all 2007 and newer American full size trucks and SUVs."

That's a custom aftermarket console, not like you can have that in all 50 states and not get arrested for it. It's not legal in all states.

I can't believe it would be legal in ANY state. Just goes go show how twisted things over in the good ole US of A.

USA has 95 guns per 100 people, and 10.3 gun induced deaths per 100,000 population.

Australia has 15 guns per 100 people and 1.06 gun induced deaths per 100,000 population.

What does this show? That the USA has just over 6 times the gun rate, resulting in more than 9 times the gun induced death rate. What this says to me is that the more guns there are, the more chance there is that the rate of gun induced deaths is going to be higher.

Take the guns away, and the deaths per 100,000 drops significantly. You can argue that arming innocent people protects them from those who would kill with guns, but the evidence of these pure numbers says different, and only those with a vested interest in guns would even bother to argue the point (that would be most Americans and any other gun owners - just watch the responses that appear below).
