IMI Systems Quote of the Day: No Accountability for Hundreds of Lost Guns at DHS – Enter to Win 1000 Rounds of IMI 9mm Ammo

“These are the people securing our borders and playing an integral part in our national security directives. And yet they’re leaving guns in unattended backpacks and leaving badges behind in restaurants and amusement parks. And the DHS doesn’t consider this to be enough of a problem to handle with meaningful punishments or consistent policies and reporting.” – Tim Cushing in Report Finds DHS Terrible At Keeping Track Of Agents’ Badges And Guns [via techdirt.com]

  1. Accountability? Why should there be? These people are the government! Our righteous saviors and defenders. They grant us all peace and security and safety. They are above the law.

    Want to hold them accountable? Stop funding them. Paying taxes and allowing them to stay funded is no different than a vote of confidence and belief that they should exist.

  2. Seems to me most folks here have it just backwards.

    First, this “prohibited person” list makes absolutely no distinction between actual violent criminals and the other 99% who have merely annoyed their government masters by tripping over some mala prohibita “law” or other. Why do all of these people suddenly become ineligible to exercise their right to self defense with the most effective tool? They “MIGHT” decide to do harm, but so could anyone else in the general population.

    And they “MIGHT” choose to do that harm with a box of matches, a gallon of gasoline, a baseball bat, etc. If the “prohibited persons” list means anything at all, why only for guns? If it “works,” why not prohibit those same people from buying anything else they might use to harm others?

    Second, the exact same thing could be said of the “straw purchase” thing. Why only guns? If preventing it for guns is actually meaningful, why not matches, gas, etc.?

    The most rational and productive response to a lethal attack of any kind is the death of the aggressor at the hands of his/her intended victim, and/or others around them. Then all of those who are NOT the problem can go about their business with the option to defend themselves as well.

    Pre-crime punishment efforts are not only irrational, they are ineffective while denying the natural rights of so many. Epic fail.

  3. Think this is bad? Go read “I’m from the government and I’m here to kill you” by David Hardy.

    I wish it were only lost guns.

  4. I have never been in the military, but I figure, whatever consequences there are for a soldier or Marine who loses a weapon or sensitive piece of technology, similar consequences should apply to stateside civilian law enforcement in its many flavors.

  5. I went to a shooting competition this year in New Hampshire and met several very nice shooters from the Empire State, none of them complied with the SAFE ACT. When asked about it, one woman told me more or less “The Billionaires from the city own this state (NY) now. I’m from Upstate and Local LEOs are in the same boat as I am, we’re not rich, we’re normal Americans just doing our best to be happy. We all ignore the nonsense coming out of Albany and live our lives respecting and supporting one another.”

  6. I’m a Glock armorer and have little to say about Glocks, in general. That being said, I just couldn’t spend the extra $125 on a Glock 43 over a Walther PPS M2 (BTW, there is a great rebate going on right now). I have owned, shot and carried Makarovs, S&W Shields, SA XDs, Kahr CW9 and CW45, SIG P6 / P225, SIG P239, Walther CCP Gen 1 (what a disappointment that was) and likely several more that I just can’t remember right now, and I can’t be more happy with my Walther PPS M2. Think GlockOS (Glock operating system) with advanced ergonimics.

  7. Howas are not free floated on purpose the same as Weatherbys. A rife does not have to be free floated to be accurate. Free floating is the easy way to accuracy

  8. Looks easier than digging little holes in the dirt with the bipod legs to even it out. Always seems like I’m right between a full notch of level all the damn time.

  9. “Gun Review: Howa 1500”

    “Accuracy * * * 1/2
    Just above 1 MOA was the best I could get. A free-float barrel definitely would have helped.”

    Did you break the barrel in as Howa procedure requires…???
    After proper barrel break-in, IF you’re capable, that rifle will shoot hole-in-hole…

    Here’s my review of the Howa 1500…
    You can’t find a better rifle at this price point…

  10. My surplus 91/30 looks like it just rolled out of assembly. All matching numbers. No pit marks, not a single scratch. It was a diamond in the ruff.
    I just had the chance to purchase a .22 cal 91/30 for $300 in st louis, Mo. I regret passing it up, but it wasnt on my list that day.

  11. Interesting… all those people in Walmart with guns on their hips, n not a one came out until some whack-job started shooting up the place.

    That seems almost … responsible.
