Inauguration Day preparations by the hard left. They want to escalate the war.

My bet it was some group targeting Trump and the parade. I bet something bad is going to happen in 14 days! They better be ready. If Trump is shot—houses should BURN—Newspapers go up in flames!

The point is, that prepositioned weapons inside of a security cordon can be recovered after the assailants have passed through screening.

I am wondering where this woman who supposedly saw the violin case was walking as the primary walking trail there is the towpath which is across the canal from the road and several feet lower.She might have been walking along the Capitol Crescent Trail, which parallels the towpath and which in places is alongside the road before it curves off and up the hill to Bethesda.

This story should have never made the papers.
The police should have gathered the weapons, checked for fingerprints, run the serial numbers, make them inoperable by pulling firing pins and then replaced them as they were found. Set up live video feed and snatch whoever came back to get them.
All the while, as FreedomStar3028 posted, start scouring other similar locations.

Pre-positioning may not have anything to do with this find. It may be normal weapons supply line for terrorists and drug cartels in the DC area. This may be a regular, ongoing activity.
Hundreds of guns have been stolen in the Atlanta area in the last 2 months, organized smash and grabs at gun shops using stolen trucks. All these guns are hot, and one would not want to be caught with a trunk full or them, so blind transfer via hidden cache would make sense.

I thought DC was a gun free zone? There surely has to be cameras everywhere in DC. Dude, it's DC

You wouldn’t get frisked going to a park though.
Or maybe on that day you would.
I may be an idiot but I would assume a full sweep of all areas in DC before the inauguration.
How many OTHER guns are hidden somewhere. This is a very scary thing. I wonder where the guns would be traced to.
Govt agency probably JK...I think

While DC isn’t huge, it’s not tiny, either. The whole District wouldn’t be in the security cordon, just the Capitol to White House area. The Canal road area is pretty far away.

I took a tour of a Sheriff department in Michigan. In their armory, they had two Thompson sub-machine guns, in violin cases they had confiscated from rum runners during prohibition.
It was pretty cool to see. I always thought that was just TV legend.

"....On 9/11, those box cutters were not smuggled in by the hijackers. Box cutters were found on grounded planes which had not been boarded indicating that they were stashed there ahead of time by people on the airline maintenance staff..."Most people do not know this and are very surprised when I tell them.

Couldn't find any pics online of it, though.
