This is just a blatant lie. The police can buy fully automatic weapons if they want to. If a criminal is using a fully auto weapon, the criminal (surprise) is already breaking the law, so passing a law taking away citizens' rights to AR-15s will just further de-arm law abiding citizens. If the police are too poor to buy good weapons, the answer is to get them money to buy them, not to take away the rights of law-abiding citizens to do so.
