Never happens to me….

Over the years I have purchased a number of auction and storage lots.
Some of them included items or materials that were illegal to possess.
I learned to inspect these lots as I took possession and to dispose of these items and materials immediately.
More than once these items went into the dumpster behind the auction house.
Thus, my record is clean... .

 

I need a new conspiracy theory. All the old ones keep coming true!

 

That's a good point. Illegal guns have been bought and sold forever but it makes you wonder who these guns will be used against now. Also stay away if you see pallets of bricks behind buildings with no construction in sight. It's all probably nothing but there's lots of fishy stuff going on around the world these days.

 

Read some of the article. Couldn't read it all, too much eye rolling. OH THE HORROR! Military grade weapons being shipped across state lines!!

 

yeah. Just what they said in the article. This was the point where I could no longer handle reading the article.

 

I note they are 20 inch M16's. They were probably written off the books as going to the Afghani military.

 

Any number of explanations are possible, but should not be that difficult to figure out- especially since it was multiple weapons. Definitely worth investigating, IMO.

 

When I was working at the Anniston, Alabama Post Office back in the mid 1980s we'd often get shipments of weapons and components intended for decommissioning at the Anniston Army Depot.
These shipments were usually poorly packed, often leaking parts and sometimes empty... .

 

That is very possible, but totally irrelevant, since they never left CONUS. They should have been under positive control by someone in the USG until they had been physically transferred to the intended recipient, and definitely as long as they were in the US. If the final destination was an allied country under a dept. of state approved transaction for military aid, they clearly didn't make it there, and thus should have been under positive inventory control by some responsible US agency. Once they have been transferred to the afg military, or the mexican police, or whatever non-US entity, then its anyone's guess where they may end up. Which is a completely different and interesting conversation too.

 

The only way the media would report on it, is if someone shot up a school or church with them.

That or if they got caught selling them in a back alley. Can't get ratings when there's no drama involved.

 

For those not familiar, Dan Bongino is a conservative radio show host that has basically taken over for Rush. On his show he had a whistle blower FBI agent. The guy outlined how FBI agents are actively manufacturing anti MAGA/conservative cases. The things he talked about would have been considered wacko conspiracy theories a few years ago. Now they’re happening. And the govt is very aggressively prosecuting them

Twice I’ve had the opportunity to purchase unregistered fully automatic weapons. No thanks. I value my freedom

 

If those cases were air and water tight, I would have found some remote property somewhere and buried the cases. Those rifles may be needed in the near future.
