Someone got some splaining to do.

Heard about that this morning. Too bad it got reported.

"It's unbelievable to think military-grade weapons would be shipped in containers across state lines. It's pretty shocking," Fremin said. "One of the strictest things we have in the military is weapons accountability. So these weapons are missing somewhere from a U.S. armory, and somebody doesn't know it. That's the scary thing about that for the U.S. military right now."

Maybe someone should be looking into the pull out from Afghanistan?

C'mon man can't have nothing

How did no one in chain of custody realize that the one case was full of rifles? Were they being moved with forklifts the entire time? I'm sure at some point they had to be handled one by one. That would be like a 100lbs pound difference between the other cases. Easily detectible. I'd hate to be the friend that got that case as a gift and then have to turn around and report the 6 rifles.

[2WheelGnnr]

The problem is you never know if it's a setup so I understand why someone would report.

Of course they don't...

They're too busy accounting for stuff like this...

 

[Saltwater60]

They spent an entire day looking through the other cases and obtained a warrant to do so?? Didn’t the couple voluntarily give up the illegal items and it’s not their fault? They must have voted for Trump.

Lucky sons-of-guns.....

 

[Zerex]

Something odd here, very odd...........someone in TX may have gotten cold feet, and did not intercept the shipment that was slipped into the rest, in time. Stuff usually goes to Anniston, for rebuild.

That case would've ended up on the bottom of the pallet and I wouldn't 'find' it for about a year or so, thats my story!

Cases with rifles in them? Don't know what you're talking about.

 

[technicalgadget]

Damn, some people get all the luck!

Yes I’ve heard that Afghanistan is now the biggest arms market in the world.

[Cavalry]

One has to wonder how long they have been sitting in that case? They are at least mid 90's vintage, they had about a 10 year run of A2's

 

[dwa12479]

Rifles? What rifles? Don't know nuthin about no rifles. Just got some empty cases here....

 

[Phazer]

The military was probably just disposing of the useless guns after all of their bullets had been shot through them. Once the magazine is empty, what else can you do? The gun is empty.

 

[Acer-m14]

and how many of them were left behind when we pulled out of Afghanistan

2:10 mark ..



could this be left overs from Fast n Furious that didn't get shipped lol

I would not mind being the friend that got that case as a gift then had to turn around and report the 4 rifles.

Now watch the fucking thugs from the FBI have their turn at these poor folks!

The thing is if it was a set up wouldn’t the ATF set up to catch a bigger fish rather than a couple of minnows trying to make a few bucks turning surplus gun cases?
Could it be that the case with the m16s was somewhere along the line inadvertently not emptied and therefore mixed in with hundreds of empty cases ? Aside from the fact the this gun case would weigh about 42lbs heavier ( not 100 lbs as some one else suggested) no one would know until the case was opened.
