I wonder what the government would do to the average gun dealer if he couldn't account properly for thousands of guns that he handled in his store?

We all know the answer. Can’t account for one gun = go to jail for gun-running.

Did more of Holder’s narcoterrorists steal them??

Or were they removed directly by the DO”J” so the
US Park Police would have no protection??

I can’t even imagine not knowing where all of my firearms are. Exactly all of them.

Hint: check their personal gun cabinets.

Bet at least 75% of the missing weapons would be found there. The other 25% they sold.

Just more @#$%^&* government corruption.

Lost? I’d love to see a search of the PP officers homes. Also I wonder what was sold to their friends for a few hundred dollars.

The Dept of the Interior is fast tracking 30 year “take permits” allowing wind farm operators to kill golden and bald eagles without penalty.

A proposed wind farm in Osage County, OK., plans to kill three eagles a year for 30 years with Interior’s approval.

A good friend of mine who had an FFL for over 20 years incurred the wrath of the “Boys in Black Boots” for not checking a box on a form, and was forced to surrender his license or have it revoked. He told me he had been under more intense scrutiny in the last 5 years than ever before. Can you guess his political persuasion?

LOL...college roomate is US Park Police. I know where about a half dozen of those “lost” guns can probably be found......in a lakehouse on Lake Hamilton near Hot Springs National Park, AR. Residence of a US Park Police officer.

Heaven help you if you lose a weapon or piece of equipment in a military training exercise. Always a fun time searching until it’s found.

...due to incomplete and poorly managed inventory controls....

Is that another way of saying they sold off government property and pocketed the money?

I am willing to bet that a whole lot of laptops and such in various government agencies all over the country also go missing in a similar fashion.

Reading the article with a bit more critical eye, most of the firearms that were “unaccounted for” were due to simple clerical errors.

1,400 were in storage, when they were to have been destroyed.

200 were handguns transferred from the BATFE whose paperwork got lost somewhere.

Only 18 were rifles and pistols that are unaccounted for, likely over a period of decades.

In a national agency, this is simply not that big of a scandal. People quit, die, or change jobs. Deadlines come up and choices between a critical job and an inventory have to be made.

Paperwork showing legitimate disposition gets misplaced, destroyed, or lost.

Inventory requirements change and items are mislabeled. I had a portable shelter, used for men and machines, about 8x8x20 feet, mislabled as a "power winch".

I had all of the above happen to me during my career, and that was just one individual.

For an example, when I was in Panama, I was looking for a place to put a radio repeater.

There was a nice 200 foot tower on Ft. Clayton. I looked and looked, and never was able to find the owner. No one was willing to claim ownership of that tower, and it was right in the middle of base, in full sight of everybody.
