TAMPA (FOX 13) - A mob of brazen burglars stole dozens of weapons from a Tampa gun shop Tuesday morning, after breaking in by driving through the front of the store. Surveillance cameras inside Tampa Arms Co. recorded the crime at about 3 a.m. The video shows a truck driving into the front of the business and, moments later, a swarm of thieves -- wearing masks and dressed alike -- running into the store, stealing about 40 weapons and taking off.

"It seemed to be well-calculated," said Richard Smith, the store's owner, adding he got a call notifying him of the burglary a couple hours later. "He said that they cleaned you out. So I said that I'm on my way." Smith said the majority of the weapons he had out were handguns, shotguns and rifles.

Not to diminish the seriousness of the crime, but losing 40 guns 'cleaned them out'?

I know more than several private individuals who, while they certainly would not want any of their weapons stolen, would be far from 'cleaned out' by the loss of 40 guns.

There was an article posted here yesterday in which the leader of the organization Muslim America was reported to be calling on his people to stock up on guns and ammunition. I was thinking when I read it that since many of his members are recruited in our prisons it might be hard for some of them to legally obtain firearms.

Tampa (and surrounding areas) residents should put guns on their Christmas shopping list.

The Muslim America group has a high percentage of black American citizens as members. They recruit in our prisons and have training camps at several locations around the country.

I was suggesting a possible link between an article posted here yesterday and this event.

Very good point. That is the first indication I have seen so far that something deeper may be going on.

Betchya the cops noticed that.

If that isn't the case for every single FReeper, you might not be a real FReeper. :)

And even if the business didn’t want to bother locking up its inventory at night, you’d think the biz’s insurance company might require it.
