Dozens of fugitives arrested in predawn raids
Standing in front of a table holding confiscated guns and ammunition, Bilal pledged more sweeps.

“These are very high-powered artillery weapons, and this is why this city keeps fighting for gun control,” she said. “Why are these type of weapons in our city? No war is going on. Why? We want to find out how they’re bringing these guns in so we can stop that.”
The weapons and contraband recovered included one AR-15 rifle with four fully loaded magazines, one double-barreled shotgun loaded with 10 rounds, one 9mm handgun loaded with 13 rounds, another 9mm handgun, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, 13 jars of marijuana, and 87 marijuana plants worth $400,000.

Wasn't this post supposed to be in the shooting groundhogs thread? I mean, artillery. You know, that double barreled shot gun with ten rounds.

Are sheriff’s allowed to be that ignorant about guns?

I'd be careful shooting that shotgun. If they got 10 rounds into a double barrel shotgun, mostly likely the wrong ammunition. Someone should warn them.

So, what it that weapon at the very bottom of the photo. It does look like it has multiple barrels, maybe in a bullpup design, in FDE???

She didn't talk about all the "Saturday Night Specials' included in the "arsenal". The sheriff must be running for reelection, has to show voters they are doing something. According to a critic's website, these are the duties of the Philly sheriff's department.
Transporting inmates to and from county correctional facilities, courtrooms and beyond. If an inmate is being moved, chances are a sheriff’s deputy is behind the wheel.

Serving writs (orders to collect things) and warrants (orders to collect people) signed by county judges.

Acting as security guards for all the county court buildings — and other downtown events.

Holding sheriff’s sales, which are auctions on foreclosed and tax-delinquent properties to collect money for plaintiffs in court cases.

if it is, as i suspect, a DP-12, it's a double-barrel pump. they list for $1300 and up, up, up! and they hold more than 10 rds.
Damn. I'm behind the times. I got all sarcastic above, and turns out this is a real thing?! I was picturing the drug dealers in PA running around with coach guns.

A lot of cops there taking bows over a small table.


DP-12 per wiki:
It has two tube magazines, each of which feeds its own barrel. Each magazine tube can hold up to seven 2.75-inch (70 mm) 12-gauge shotshells or six 3-inch (76 mm) shotgun shells. 16 in total with indicator windows.
Legal though AFAIK. The one bottom left looks like a CMP-18 but someone might have a better guess.

What a shitshow. Do they carry slingshots in their patrol cars?

Right ? Or at least a light mortar. Pathetic.

Regardless of his faux pas, deliberate or not, I'll have to applaud their work getting fugitives and their weapons off the street.

Isn't this what everyone is clamoring for?

The sheriff could do that without lying about what her department has done.
