Wow. That is a worst possible scenario. Hopefully it doesn't make news. The antis would love that. See! If we just ban them, this wouldn't happen!

I meant "make news" in the way of violence. You are correct though, I have no doubt they read forums like this.

Weaponized fish... Classic :)

OP, I say you will have it in two weeks - ARs are everywhere these days. Which make/model is slowly coming to u?
Did you just buy that beautiful firearm, or are you trying to sell that piece of crap?

It makes you wonder how many do go missing.

"A Southern California driver for United Parcel Service was arrested Friday, accused of stealing dozens of guns bound for a Turner’s Outdoorsman store in Rancho Cucamonga.

Curtis Hays, 36, allegedly funneled 72 weapons, including 12-gauge shotguns and .45-caliber pistols, to an associate for sale on the region’s bustling black market for illegal firearms."

Did any get fired? lol

Oops, I guess the whistleblowers did. And I hope they weren't trying to pad their resume in this way trying to get their jobs back.
