Maybe I should add him to my “This not a gun safe” section. Kinda of reminds me of that DEA agent that shot himself right after saying that he was a trained professional.

The feeling of Deaja.Vu floods over me, I know this happened before! Oh yes! Now I remember, but it was Memphis TN. The FBI at a hotel, and it was a van, with basically the same contents, but better yet! They even had an M-79 grenade launcher stolen! They didn�t bother to let it be known whether or not any HE or fragmentation grenades were taken. You can all understand how law enforcement would need such a weapon. Well maybe it was for tear gas? Like when they borrowed the tanks from the Army down in Waco.

Looks like the criminals were keeping guns out of “untrained hands”…

Aren’t bullet-resistant vests and body armor the same thing? (I’m assuming they are not talking about trauma plates.)

As for the MP5 trainer, perhaps they meant an Airsoft MP5 copy?

“…in the hands of untrained individuals…”

That’s the best they can do? How about, in the hands of larsonists? Oh, but wait, that’s against the law– you know, criminals having guns is illegal. Don’t criminals know that breaking the law is illegal? Somebody should remind them.

Presumably, the M4s were full autos as well as the MP5s. Odd that a liberal rag like the Washington [com]Post didn’t play up the fact that 4 Machine Guns were stolen. Also, what exactly is a ‘training’ MP5?

You can expect a lot more of these events once the ATF opens it’s new HQ in DC – it is smack dab in the middle of a neighborhood that would charitably be called ‘transitional’.
