(WXYZ) - Keeping guns away from violent criminals is a top priority for hundreds of federal agents here in Detroit.
7 Action News Investigator Heather Catallo had an exclusive look inside the top-secret gun vaults at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
It's a fascinating glimpse inside the ATF’s battle against violence and crime in Southeast Michigan. The vaults at the Detroit Field Division house the weapons seized during criminal investigations, and the 7 Investigators got to see what’s normally kept under lock and key.
Four vaults inside the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Detroit Field Division are loaded with thousands of weapons.
ATF Special Agent Donald Dawkins says the guns have all been seized and stored as evidence, as part of their criminal investigations in Southeast Michigan.
“This is a very old firearm, but obviously, it’s still functional,” said Dawkins, holding up an older rifle.
Inside the vaults you’ll find vintage weapons, semi-automatic rifles and even AR-15’s, which Dawkins says more common than you may realize in Detroit.
“People think these are sexy and you see them, they can do a lot of damage, obviously,” said Dawkins.
Whether it’s gun trafficking cases or massive motorcycle gang investigation, the ATF has to store all of the evidence that agents seize until the verdict is in and every appeal is exhausted.
There are even guns that have been “enhanced” by their former owners.

Fixed that for ya.
The bATF needs to disbanded and all the faggots that work for it need to have a tattoo marked on their forhead so everyone will know they are dealing with a former JBT
.22 caliber?
Most of those loads were so underpowered the victim easily survived, but died days later from infection due to bad medicine/no antibiotics.
So yeah, that would be intimidating. Bad way to go.
There is only one solution - take it boating.
Good idea. I’ll offer it a trip to go fishin’. :>}
Sounds like someone was too jacked on meth to sleep and started putting mini-Maglites on a gun.
