the Post is kind of grinning at another of their clever puns. anyway, as the article posits, Police Commish Ray Kelly is arming the NYPD to prepare for Mumbai-style terrorist attacks, with the use of the "M4 Machine Guns".
somebody correct me, but does an M4 technically qualify as a machine gun? it is an assault rifle, for all intents and purposes. if you tell me to bring a machine gun, i'd be bringing an M-60 or a SAW. i dunno.
and so far no one has been prepared for attacks of that magnitude, even though preparation is the mother of success, and the media hype that comes along with it. the odds are it would happen again in another city rather than in NYC (which would then be a credit to the NYPD's preparation and paranoia, until someone sleeps on the job).
