what makes a semi auto .223 an assault rifle or not an assault rifle?as a semiauto with a decent capacity in .223 cal it would be a pretty effective killing tool, assault rifle or not. Now lets get all these guys well trained beyond range training because .223 will not be stopped by a car door.

Because money is limited... and in the context of Toronto (I cannot emphasize it enough, TORONTO, THE CITY OF TORONTO, an urban centre), would't make more sense to buy tasers for all officers first? And when that phase is completed, then move on to the assault rifles at a later time?
you sure? according to anti gunners and the media any black semi auto is an assault rifle!Select fire so if it can switch between Semi-auto and Automatic fire settings these can only shoot semi-auto.

More triggers, different triggers, more or less powerful triggers.
More devices with triggers doesn't fit into my idea of de-escaltation.
Maybe one day get to de escalate a situation with it

any stats on how many cops were shot in Toronto last year?Maybe because tasers don't work well against increasing use of firearms by gang-bangers in Toronto and increasing numbers of shooting victims?
Would you bring a taser to a gunfight?
