I'll go you one further.  Hold Barney Fife criminally liable for any crime committed with the weapon he/she "lost".  Almost every state in the union has laws on the books that make allowing a gun to fall into the wrong hands a criminal offense for J.Q. Public.  Why is Barney not held to the same standard?



even better.

You know, I've just changed my mind about gun control if you can't keep track of 200 + firearms you shouldn't be allowed to have them, let alone run healthcare >:(

Because Barney (Janet) is the guy in charge.

Memo to BATFE: you might want to raid the Department of Homeland Security. After all, it has lost a rather large number of firearms. If an FFL dealer lost this many guns, the license holder would be in jail (with his house burned to the ground and his dogs shot). Just a thought...

Good find, Eric.... and right on the money.
How are they supposed to 'police' us when they can't police themselves all that well?

I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Sadly, some LEOs and security types fall under the 'familiarity breeds complacency' paraphrase.  I'm gratified the numbers aren't larger.

In my line of work, any 'unsafe handling of firearms' is cause for immediate termination, as it should be.  Ask the guy who was fast drawing himself in a customer's bathroom mirror and shot it.
Anti: I think some of you gentleman would choose to apply a gun shaped remedy to any problem or potential problem that presented itself? Your reverance (sic) for firearms is maintained with an almost religious zeal. The mind boggles! it really does...

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

After making the Barney comments in my previous post, I would like to clarify one thing. I have a lot of friends in the LEO line of work at levels ranging all the way from local to federal and every place in between. My comments on LEO ineptitude are wholly based on the few "Barny Fife's" that make the others look bad. There are good cops, bad cops, skilled cops, and un-skilled cops.
I have nothing but the utmost respect for the men and women who are 'on the job' for all the right reasons.
