FBI sniper rifle and AR stolen from SWAT vehicle by 16 year old

I happen to know what they use to secure long guns in the trunk (or are supposed to). It's suprisingly low-tech, yet should be somewhat effective. This isn't strictly an FBI issue, but an LE wide issue. You'd be amazed at the number of identical reports I see of this type. It's staggering and appalling.

LE or not, if you leave firearms in your vehicle overnight and you don't park your locked vehicle inside a locked garage, you're courting disaster. PLEASE, secure your firearms properly, mmkayyy?

I would make it a habit of carrying them in at night. I carry my lunch box or container in every day so my wife doesn't yell at me and make me go get it anyway. Maybe cops need to have wives?

A lot of times, the A1 is converted to semi-auto by the dept issuing them, like in the case where a PD or sheriff gets them on lease, etc

It takes minimal effort/parts to convert them back.

And in the eyes of the law, it's still a machine gun regardless. Stupid 3rd hole.

It wasn't a sheriff or PD. It was the freakin FBI SWAT! I'm thinking the go fast stuff was likely still there.

Someone will get killed with one of the stolen fully autos, and Obama will want to make all fully autos illegal to own...or to steal.

They should outlaw stealing, if that was illegal we wouldn't be in this situation right?

There's always been stealing. Even mentions it in the Old Testament. But now there's a full auto out there that can rip through an officer's windshield before he can say "sh-t!"

Edit: Just think about what if General Custer had just one of those babies at the Little Big Horn...
