A trailer containing high-powered weapons and 20,000 rounds of ammunition was stolen from an Indianapolis gun store over the weekend.
According to Metro Police and ATF investigators, the guns were sitting in a trailer behind Profire Arms and Supply in the 7300 block of Rockville Road on the city's west side.
The owner told police that the theft was discovered Saturday about 8:30 a.m. He also told detectives the trailer was locked and he is the only person who had a key. The trailer contained M16 automatic rifles, AK47s, several machine guns, several submachine guns, an automatic UZI, and an Ohio Ordinance 249 belt-fed machine gun. Several handguns, shotguns and rifles, as well as silencers were inside. Police estimated the total value of all the firearms to be $225,000.
Now before anybody panics remember that guns don't kill people, people kill people...usually with guns.
Wait, what's the other gun dealer saying?
Don Davis, who has sold guns for more than 40 years at another Indy gun store, called the stolen firearms "weapons of war."
"These things are dangerous. These guns you're talking about here, you touch them (and it's) bang, bang, bang, until they run out," Davis said.
Oookay, so I guess now would be a good time to panic.
Hell who needs to worry about background checks, when gun stores leave trailers simply bulging with military style weapons just sitting unprotected behind their buildings?
Gosh isn't living in America great?
As B-52 bomber pilot Maj. "King" Kong would say. "Shoot, a fella' could have a pretty good weekend in Dallas with all that stuff."
ReplyDeleteHhhmmm. Can you say "Criminal Negligence"?
ReplyDelete'Badass' Moms Take Gun Fight To NRA's Home Turf
ReplyDeleteAnd on Tuesday, Watts' organization, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, kicks off a new campaign meant to more directly challenge the mighty National Rifle Association on the gun group's home turf: Statehouses and Congress. The group will announce its endorsements for about 110 federal and state candidates for public office, and will roll out two television ads meant to persuade voters to embrace "common sense" gun restrictions, such as expanded background checks.
"It makes our moms feel like badasses to take on the most powerful lobbying organization in the country," Watts told The Huffington Post last week.

Hmm, were the Palins travelin' that weekend?
ReplyDeleteI think there needs to be some more digging to see if the theft of these "stolen" weapons were not indeed orchestrated to miraculously turn up in a militia operation coming soon to a town or border near you.
ReplyDeleteWhat groups does this store owner belong to? What are some of his latest posts on Facebook and Twitter? Is he a member of a militia (U..S. Domestic Terrorist) group?
There are no such things as coincidences, right?
More questions than answers. A trailer full of guns and ammo just sitting out back? Does the guy have good theft insurance? Did he set this up? Collect insurance and sell the weapons? Are they registered? Something is way off here. It will be interesting to see where some of these weapons surface.
ReplyDeleteIf you keep your weapons of mass destruction in a trailer, you may be a dumb ass redneck.
ReplyDeleteNo-no, you are one.
BTW- sounds like a inside job to me, but than I'm just a token liberal.
Good news from Indy, they found the empty trailer.
ReplyDeleteOh Gee Golly Gawrsh willikers! The WHOLE TRAILER?
DeleteNot included on the report was that the owner was seen screaming at the top of his lungs "Run, mother f*uckers, Run! I got the ONLY key right here on my key chain,, so there!"
ReplyDeleteYeah, what a country, We got an armed survivalist on the loose, and now a truckload of military grade weapons. What could possibly go wrong?
