In a move sure to make zero friends among the boys in blue and tan, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon last week brought charges against an LA County Sheriff’s deputy for “unlawfully possessing an assault rifle and tracer ammunition at his home.”
While law enforcement for years enjoyed an exemption to the state’s assault weapon ban this was eroded over the years for many, and they are not exempt from properly registering such guns or jumping through hoops to get them– which appears to be why Gascon has filed charges.
