Forget the so-called gunshow loophole,time to stop the FBI loophole.

‘Fast & Furious III’. F&F #2 was the clever U.S. transfer of arms to ISIS via the Iraqi troops.

Can you imagine the $hitstorm that would befall you if you, as a citizen had a weapon stolen from your car? This is nothing more than a mini-Fast and Furious with the government refusing to give any details. I live about 22 miles from Benicia. It’s a sleepy little town on the Sacramento-SanJoaquin River that was once the state’s capitol. Just wondering what the FBI was doing there, unless the agents actually live there. Not likely to be a hotbed of criminal activity.

Don’t they have vehicle safes?

[CivilWarBrewing]

Also, ANY FBI employee who leaves his or her firearms in a vehicle overnight SHOULD BE FIRED ON THE SPOT.

For some reason I smell estrogen exuding from this incident.

Questions. Locked and alarmed; so they left the car locked and alarmed but apparently the firearms were not locked and alarmed.

Best sentence: “In two of the recent thefts, firearms stolen from law enforcement agents’ vehicles were later used in fatal slayings.”

That’s as good as suspect got his head decapitated.

[Lazamataz]

I think the thieves got swindled. GLOCKS? Where’s the full-auto MP-5’s?

[mass55th]

They don’t seem to be able to keep control of their weapons. I didn’t know it was standard procedure for the FBI to lock your weapon in your car when you weren’t wearing it. I was under the impression that one was supposed to have control of your weapon at all times. As someone who was responsible for knowing where mine was, I’d never have left a personal or departmental issued weapon locked in my car at any time. I worked with a guy or two who during hunting season forgot they’d left their shotgun in the gun rack in the cab of their truck when they came to work, which was on state property. They were brought up on departmental charges.

When I see stories like this I cannot help but think that the “victim” was paid big money for the “stolen” items.

[Rockpile]

Hey there journalism professionals———WHO OWNED these firearms?? Were they FBI issue or privately owned or a mixture of both?

Yes I know, that thinking all by yourselves is really demanding.

[Bon mots]

Who leaves weapons and badges in a vehicle? The idiot should be fired and lose her pistol permit.

I don’t even leave my computer in my car and I live in a very safe community.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Some people just can’t be trusted to handle firearms responsibly.

[Polynikes]

Whenever I read stuff like this it pi$$es me off to no end. These are the same type of DB's who will refuse to issue a CCW in Kali because “you don't have a good reason because we say so”. The “Maxwell Smarts” deserve to be fired.

Last summer the UCB police chief had her gun badge and ammo stolen from her car at a East bay park. What a dumazz.

...firearms stolen from law enforcement agents' vehicles were later used in fatal slayings.

Are there non-fatal slayings?

[Old Grumpy]

Gross incompetence.

I wonder WHERE the items were - in plain sight in the vehicle?

[MasterGunner01]

If only the military, LEOs, and FLEAs are qualified to have firearms (according to liberals), who do these groups have guns and other equipment get stolen from them? If they can't keep track of their weapons, how can they be seen as responsible enough to carry and posses them?
