San Francisco (CNN)The gun used in the killing of a San Francisco woman in a case that gave new political prominence to the issue of illegal immigration was stolen from a vehicle belonging to a federal Bureau of Land Management agent, a source familiar with the investigation said Wednesday.
Kate Steinle was shot to death on July 1 on one of San Francisco's busiest piers.
The .40-caliber pistol was a personal weapon, not an official firearm, the source said. Investigators still are trying to determine how Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, the man accused in Steinle's killing, allegedly obtained the weapon, according to the source.
Earlier, a source close to the probe told CNN that the gun belonged to a federal agent.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported this week that the weapon was stolen in a car burglary in June, citing sources close to the investigation. . .

Pretty much every agency of the government has been armed to the teeth in the last few years.

“Law Enforcement are the ONLY ones qualified to have weapons!!1!” -liberal talking point for contrast
One question: How secured was said weapon that it could be stolen to begin with?

Did they do a background check before they stole that weapon???
And was there a 3 day waiting period?
Oh wait... only law-abiding people do those things...

Exactly...even the Department of Education was seeking armored personnel carriers (APCs) at one point.
This BLM agent couldn't simply keep his weapon holstered on his hip?
If a regular person were to lose a firearm in that manner the media would be calling for his or her head on a pike.

As tragically ironic as it is, some people actually say, "God makes lousy theater."
Which only proves how historically illiterate they are.

Where are all the BIG GUMNENT folks that decry the 2nd Amend. after a school shooting????

Kinda blows a hole (pun intended) on the liberal meme that private gun ownership was responsible for the SF tragedy, since this one was owned by an upstanding and responsible employee of the always trustworthy government.

Only employees of Bureau of Land Management should have guns in the US.

And a BLM employee needs a firearm... why?
Oh - yeah. Unexpected meeting with a marijuana grower out there in the wild.
