150 firearms in 3 1/2 years is hardly looting freight cars filled with guns

They must not know that Chicago has very strict laws against self defense and tight controls on gun ownership. Otherwise they wouldn't have violated these laws

Absolutly makes no sense. Total BS.

150 guns would by a small shipment on a truck freight line.
150 x 8 pounds = 1,200 pounds. Heck that ain’t even a pick up truck worth of cargo.

Was this report made by that discussing Cris Wallace. I think he has a math problem, too. I need a few more vodkas to make it through the night watching Faux.

here is how life works.

everybody is in on it.
gangs cooperate with shippers and gun companies,
by only taking shipments meant for the gangs.
ATF and local cops get their cut of $$ and guns.

gun companies and shippers benefit,
only the low end guns are taken, and
other damage is minimized.

everybody wins

Multiple trains transporting firearms... and only 150 stolen overall? In the last 3-4 years? When one single manufacturer delivery could easily be carrying that many? 150 since 2013 works out to be less than one firearm per week. The headline seems to make it sound like freight cars full of dozens of guns are hijacked daily.

...The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said that since 2013, more than 150 firearms have been reported stolen from freight trains...

Just ONE freight car full of guns would be 10,00 to 30,000 depending on rifle, pistol, compact, full size, packaging, etc. The headline makes it sound like a huge number of freight cars.

Completely deceptive.

150 guns is lost in the noise as far as illegal weapons in Chicago.

The operative word is Chicago

Nobody gives a damn about the tribal wars in Chicago.

I doubt the veracity of the tale. Only 150 guns removed from boxes and boxes. BS
