Machine gun missing at California Army post
By Irene Loewenson
 Friday, Aug 26

 
Military investigators are hoping to track down a machine gun that has gone missing from a California Army post, officials confirmed to Army Times.

The M240B machine gun was last seen at Fort Irwin’s Forward Operating Base Santa Fe — located in the sandy training area of the post known as “the Box” — on Aug. 4, according to a photograph of a flyer first posted to Reddit.

The Army’s Criminal Investigation Division has opened an investigation into the missing gun.

“Currently, there are no indications of any criminal activity,” Patrick Barnes, a spokesperson for Army CID, said in a statement to Army Times. “No additional details will be released at this time.”

No one from Mejifornia would steal it since they know Gavin Newsom's pants get all poopy at the thought of anyone having any kind of weapon. :whistle:

You mean other than the fact that a belt-fed 30 caliber machine gun is missing,right?

Maybe I am just the suspiscious type,but to ME,a missing machine gun would seem to indicate the theft of a machine gun.

And I can tell you that during my 7 years of army duty,the army took missing machine guns pretty seriously.

Want to bet the FBI finds it in the custody of some half-wit either just in time to stop an incident or just after ?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
