In the first public accounting of its kind in decades, an Associated Press investigation has found that at least 1,900 U.S. military firearms were lost or stolen during the 2010s, with some resurfacing in violent crimes. And that's certainly an undercount. Government records covering the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force show pistols, machine guns, shotguns and automatic assault rifles have vanished from armories, supply warehouses, Navy warships and elsewhere. These weapons of war disappeared because of security failures that, until now, have not been publicly reported, including sleeping troops and a surveillance system that didn’t record.

Filling BLM and Antifa’s arsenals. And sanctioned by the Penagon. Guaranteed.
American citizens own 300 million guns, including 20 million assault rifles.
The US Military has only 4 million rifles.
1900+/- firearms in a 10+ year period? - thats nothing - how many firearms does the military have? probably millions - thats a lot less than I would have suspected have ‘walked away’
There used to be lockdowns when a weapon went missing until it was found. I guess they don’t take thungs as serious as they once did.
That's the official count. I'll bet it is a lot higher.
People who should have washed out didn’t. Now there’s losers and bad actors filling up the ranks. The former is easy to steal from and the latter obliges.
Many of those weapons make their way to gang arsenals thanks to a guy “turning his life around”.
“ The US Military has only 4 million rifles.”

Where did you get that number? 🙄
And who was President during the 2010s? Who was Vice President?
Most get lost in transit. 100% accountability from FN arms shipping to DoD. Once it’s in government hands the games begin. We found an M240 NIB from FN in the janitor closet once. MPs said it was to go to 4ID/4BDE. How it ended up with 502 MI is still a mystery.
Did the DOD stop locking things up ?
More accurately, they are black weapons of war. We should be conclude that any black weapon is a weapon of war, even though that is racist. There are some algebraic properties in there somewhere, lol.
Worked on Hill AFB in Utah. Base had a lock-down when some rifles went missing, lock down lasted until they were recovered- which lasted just a few hours.
Hint: If you find a case of M-16’s on the road, you either stand guard on that case, or you take that case DIRECTLY to base security - anything else, is a very, very bad thing.
You might want to add "Full Automatic" weapons of war, whereas the civilian versions of these guns are merely semi-automatic.
Some of these beauties have 3-shot burst mode, Full automatic mode, semi-automatic mode and Safe. But "Safe" mode isn't as much fun.
My guess: this was done with the express permission and encouragement of the ATF, for the purpose of articles like this saying “weapons of war on America’s streets”, as a ploy for gun confiscation. BET ON IT.

THIS ^
One can practically bet on it and not lose.
It’s been going on for awhile, not just with our current much for brains. Slick Willie, odongo....they ALL had/have the same “agenda”.
Where is Jack Reacher?
We need Jack Reacher to investigate these missing weapons.
Arson isn't fire violence.
Rape isn't penis violence.
Murder isn't gun violence.
The problem is criminal violence... ...
