U.S. Military Weapons in Gangsters' Hands
Advertisements [?]
Gangs are acquiring highpowered, military-grade weapons more frequently, according to the latest National Gang Intelligence Center Report. And FBI and law enforcement officials suggest gang members -- both enlisted and those working at military bases as contract civilians -- may be funneling the firearms to their street-level counterparts.

In late July, 27 AK-47s were stolen from a Fort Irwin warehouse, officials said. Those close to the case, who would speak only under the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the subject, said investigators believe gang members were involved in the theft.

Who was it, not too long ago in this very forum, telling us that this type of shit never happens??

Which is just another reason that even if guns in civilian hands were completely banned, criminals would still be able to get them. One way or another.

The only thing gun control is good for is disarming law-abiding citizens. Criminals will always find a way, through the black market.
