Leftist Woman Stole TXANG M4 Out of a Vehicle.

[OlongJohnson]

Hey, we just passed a bill supporting red flag laws through congress. This woman needs to be red flagged - I mean. Clearly.

And yes I am bitter about that.

Even better, she's a felon, and it's firearm related. Two strikes as a PP under the old system. Just get it into NICS.

I was bitter and probably being a bit childish, but this honestly is cause for concern. Like, she did snatch a machine gun out of a government vehicle.

I don’t know. We’ll see how this goes.

Shit like this is why I am absolutely 'that' unrelenting asshole NCO about unsecured weapons.

You mean this one?

[S Jenks]

Bitch, close that dust cover.

[JRB]

You mean this one?

I'm not worthy of such a comparison, truly.
But I do aspire to be, someday.

She sure did.

She is amenable to both theft charges and charges of unlawful possession of machine gun, possession of stolen property.

Sounds correct.

Yes, something needs to happen.

Absolutely!

As a cynic I'm thinking she will be protected by the powers that be.

BINGO!!

Sounds like they came and retrieved their EBR and gave her a proper apology...

From that article, I learned those scamps had defeated the nagging seatbelt alarms… That is nearly serious as an unattended M4.

From almost exactly one year ago…

“The Army takes weapons accountability very seriously. While we have stringent physical security measures, we have more work to do to ensure that our property accountability and criminal reporting systems are seamlessly linked together. The Army staff met today to develop a way forward to fix this problem and we will provide more information as this effort evolves.”

Doesn't seem to me like it was stolen. Are the they charging her with theft?

Multiple state and federal felonies. In my state, theft of a firearm is a second degree felony, only behind capitol and first degree felonies.

And on the same level as theft of livestock.

And, as @HCM pointed out, if it were something of yours from your vehicle it would be stolen. Stolen from a burglarized vehicle.

Also add in unlawful possession of an SBR, since USG M4's do not have pinned and welded birdcages.

Doesn't it being a machine gun obviate the whole SBR thing? I started the question as a wiseass but I'm actually wondering now. How does the NFA handle that? There's no such thing as a short barreled machine gun. The fact that it's a machine gun means it's not a rifle which means it can't be a short barreled rifle, right?

I know. I like trying to understand the details even knowing it's a game of calvinball.
