Dummies. I hope they enjoy 3 hots and a cot.

Idiot, the gobbernment doesn't like competition.

 

[CountryGent]

Well those two muppets pretty much screwed their lives for good.

Stupidity in humans never ceases to amaze me!

I'm not too found of the Aliens either.

Natural selection.
Now we will feed them, pay for their healthcare and education.

Lots a thievery going on at shot show the last couple years. I'm truly surprised that they allow guns to be out at shot anymore. I see some of the bigger booths with tether cords, I'm surprised it hasn't got to the point of a gun show where virtually everything is tether locked.

Such a shame really, just makes the show feel crummy as these types each year are pulling this stuff.

"Both men were released on their own recognizance, though U.S. Magistrate Judge Nancy Koppe restricted them from possessing weapons while out of custody."

This part really has the dealer community upset, steals 65 firearms including silencers and machine guns, facing hundreds of years in jail but let free to wonder the streets. One of them has a criminal record and rumor has it that union contracts prevented shot officials / security to do checks on employees of the venue.

Wow. I wonder what their max years in prison could be if you add up each silencer and machine gun violation (not counting jail time for the other guns)?

Yes they can break it up to each gun for charges. Each machine gun violation is 7 years alone.

Dang!

Just another example of if the Judicial system enforced laws currently on the books, rather than 'Pols whipping up new useless laws...

At my age, I only wish I could say the same.... but alas, I cannot!

 

[The Heretic]

"My client looks forward to resolving this matter expeditiously."

So yeah

 

[The Heretic]

So the firearms were just left out on the tables at night?

If so then that is like just too much temptation to people working the event.

 

[Stomper]

Meh.... if I found $1M sitting out, sure... I may pile it on the ground and roll around in it for a couple minutes and maybe even take a few obscene selfies on it, but I'd rake it all up and report it found to the proper authorities.

 

[The Heretic]

I don't steal, but if I was to steal guns like that, I wouldn't be wondering around local gun stores asking about parts for the guns I just stole.

Obviously they didn't know much about guns and were your typical stupid thieves.

I wonder how much other stuff they have stolen over the years from that place.

Sounds like some very sloppy security and sounds like dumb luck that the thieves were morons.

Hang 'am high!!!

That's because your not dumb, thieves are generally dumb, and I thought the same EXACT thing as you stated. If I WAS to do something like that... all of it would have been stashed for AT LEAST a year before EVEN farting around with it, let alone looking for known (by the owners) missing parts locally... but I'm sure their "habits" needed a quick-fix NOW, and overrode any thoughtfulness.
