No wonder this has been kept quiet....
After the first public accounting of its kind in decades, an AP investigation has found that at least 1,900 U.S. military firearms were lost or stolen during the 2010s, with some resurfacing in violent crimes. And that's definitely an under count of the number lost.
US Government records covering the US Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force show pistols, machine guns, shotguns and automatic assault rifles have vanished from armories, supply warehouses, Navy warships and elsewhere. These weapons disappeared because of security failures that have not been publicly reported (until now) including sleeping troops and a surveillance system that didn’t record.
In one case, authorities linked an Army pistol stolen from Fort Bragg, NC to four shootings in New York before it was recovered. Another stolen Army pistol was used in a Boston street robbery.
