Report: Officers lose 243 Homeland Security guns

gee, I really feel so much safer now knowing our security people are on the job..... NOT !!!actually I think the term " incompetent boobs" describes that situation pretty well

....also, if I as a gunowner leave a gun unsecured and that gun is misused by someone because I didn't have it secured, I could be held responsible. Is that same standard held to these officials????

Quote :

The officers, with Customs and Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, "did not always sufficiently safeguard their firearms and, as a result, lost a significant number of firearms" between fiscal year 2006 and fiscal year 2008, the report said.

Good thing this all happened on "W's" watch. It will be interesting how the talking heads will spin this one.

Are you suggesting our government hires incompetent boobs? Oh yeah, that's right. One tends to hire his familiars.
