The men stole so many items that the spreadsheet spanned two pages. The pair stole 65 firearms from four companies: Remington Arms, LKCI, Blaser USA and Legacy Sports International, the Review-Journal reported.
Specifically, the two stole:
Remington machine guns, rifles and pistols Denel Land Systems machine guns Mauser rifles Glock pistols Sauer & Sohn rifles Advanced Armament silencers.
The reason the men were caught is because the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the hosts of SHOT Show, require all manufacturers to remove firing pins from weapons displayed during the show, meaning they're inoperable.
The Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) were made aware of the situation on a Wednesday and alerted local Federal Firearm Licensees (FFLs) to be attentive for any individuals seeking gunsmithing services or, more specifically, firing pins.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
THAT is the barrier..??
Wow, that’s nothing for anyone except a total retard.
The vast majority of people walking into the Shot Show could rectify their “situation” in an hour or two, maybe one day.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I’ll be worried if and when you get a fork lift cert.
Shot show tightened up the credentials needed for admission this year, that may held narrow down the list of possible perps.
TOWNHALL wrote this..?
I would expect something like this from USA Today, or the AP, Reuters.
In other words, outfits which you’d expect to know absolutely nothing about firearms.
I guess this article was aimed mostly at journalists..?
It’s like having a Ferrari stolen from you but then cackling, “The thieves got NOTHING cuz the car had NO SPARKPLUGS.!!!”
Now someone help me out: "Remington machine guns"??
Well, beth tries on occasion. :-)
I used to do BIG trade show displays as part of my job. Detroit Auto Show, Chicago Motor Show, Frankfort Germany Auto Show, Tokyo Motor Show, SEMA in Las Vegas, etc.
The union workers in Detroit and Chicago venues were the biggest thieves youve ever seen. It was a racket. They would steal anything not bolted down from your shows. TVs, stereo equipment, car parts, furniture. Anything they could spirit away.
You had to pay them overtime to deliver things to your booth and then theyd steal it from your crates while transporting them through the venue. Or theyd come back at night and clean you out.
Happy to help. According to the MSM, it's one of these:
Not all of the above? To me they all look like ARs. You know, Ass-salt Rifles.
From the article:
When agents searched Foster and Limon’s homes they found the stolen firearms, despite neither one of them having any guns registered to them.
So there is a gun registration?
Has anyone else noticed they way gun registration keeps popping up lately?
Seems like they are easing us into the idea by passively using the term.
...or AK-47’s. They’re all the same, you know.
When agents searched Foster and Limons homes they found the stolen firearms, despite neither one of them having any guns registered to them. (Technically, it’s a correct statement. If there is no gun registration, then the guns cannot be registered)
“So there is a gun registration?”
That’s been going on for decades. We stopped watching NCIS partly because of it. They’d go someplace and state the perp’s gun wasn’t registered. I’d go online and check, and that place never required it.
The final straw for NCIS is when DiNozzo was replaced by a couple less than macho types and they went full leftard.
Because currently in NV there is no ‘registration’ requirement. Currently. But, yeah I see it in movies and on TV shows constantly about “The gun wasn’t registered to the perp....” Just fluffing up the ignorants out there that ‘registration’ is a thing so when it happens they’ll be okay with it. NOT!
You're right! Stupid error. It should have said 'Remington assault machine guns
“...Now someone help me out: “Remington machine guns”??” [OKSooner, post 8]
According to the list posted on The Firearms Blog, about half a dozen select-fire arms were among those stolen: some AR-15-type rifles and at least one submachine gun, which looked vaguely like an HK64 (?? company designation for MP5).
According to the National Firearms Act, any firearm capable of firing more than one round with each trigger pull is legally a “machine gun.” Includes pure full auto, burst fire, and select fire.
The generic military definition of “machine gun” is a crew-served weapon of rifle caliber or larger, capable of sustained full auto fire, typically belt fed or fed by large capacity magazines: M249, M60, Bren, Lewis etc.
Private ownership of new-made “machine guns” has been banned since May 1986. FFL dealers with the applicable Special Occupational Tax Stamp (renewed yearly) may possess newer machine guns only if they already have a letter from a law enforcement agency or other official government organization (as approved by BATFE) requesting a demonstration and/or sales sample. Manufacturers have a separate set of regulations they must follow, and must possess the applicable BATFE licenses.
Remington isn’t purely a gunmaker and has not been for some years. It’s now a conglomerate holding company that owns Marlin, H&R, Para-Ordnance, and other manufacturers. Including DPMS or DSA (I forget which), and others making select-fire rifles for law enforcement & military sales.
The SHOT Sow has for some years been trending toward military, security, and law enforcement suppliers and consumers - according to show attendees. Among civilians, that includes survivalists, preppers, and the generic tacticool mall ninja wannabe. Outdoor sports like hunting are in the back seat.
Besides the two listed federal charges, there will be state charges of grand larcency/theft, illegal possession of an unlicensed machine gun, and being stupid dumb-asses. LUV IT!
Anyone whos been to a gun show knows this
