ATF agents lost track of dozens of their own guns, reports show

ATF agents have lost track of dozens of government-issued guns, after stashing them under the front seats in their cars, in glove compartments or simply leaving them on top of their vehicles and driving away, according to internal reports from the past five years obtained by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Agents left their guns behind in bathroom stalls, at a hospital, outside a movie theater and on a plane, according to the records, obtained Tuesday by the news organization under the federal Freedom of Information Act.

Our tax dollars at work.

It's pretty disturbing when your "law enforcement" agencies are more of a menace to society than the 'criminals'.

This is good news. ANYTHING, that gives the ATF a black eye, brightens my day. I'm not easily pleased, but if the ATF could be encouraged to drop machine guns, in their Hansel and Gretel act, there might be a sea change in my personality.

Good God man!

I know where every single weapon I own is at any point in time no matter what!

These idiots leave weapons on top of their cars and drive away?

Are you freaking kidding me?
