1. Not good

2. Sleep well, gentle folks, all is well

There is no indication that these missing weapons are connected to any kind of terrorism threat

Gee, and I thought the FBI only recruited smart folks.

There is no indication that these missing weapons are connected to any kind of terrorism threat and no evidence to the contrary.

So that sentence is remarkably hollow, one way or the other.

5. I mean, it's not like terrorists would have to

rob a military facility in order to get firearms in America. Guns are all over the place here and there are much easier places/ways to acquire them than breaking into a military depot.

6. Military grades weapons are better than what you can legally buy

So, whoever did it, terrorists or criminals, it made sense.

3. A lot of folks will be getting calls from the FBI soon.

These things are almost always inside jobs, with people who have had recent knowledge of the lay out and inventory.

4. interesting as military arms

rooms have alarms and are vaults essentially.

7. This raises lots of questions to me, as I ran physical security programs for Army Resrve facilities

The vaults are very, very secure structures. On every side, top and bottom. They have well made alarms that can't be disabled from the outside.

It would take a lot of time and noise to get inside.

Once inside the weapons are secured in racks that are both physically secured to the structure and also locked. Just breaking into one of them takes time.

It would have to be someone whit pretty solid knowledge of the setup and how the alarm works to pull that off, unless someone totally screwed up and had weapons store outside the vault.

8. Likely either an inside job or people with training

Not a job for amateurs. I've been in the National Guard and the weapons were always heavily secured in a vault AND chained into racks and each 8-10 rifle rack required two strong people to move it.

9. Please note the arms are FULL AUTOMATIC, not the semi-autos MSM likes to confuse...

them with to pump up anti-gun campaigns. Acquiring FULL-AUTOS has usually been accomplished in just the manner described in the OP.

You can't get 'em at Cabelas or Dick's Dixie Line Gun Shop.

Refreshing, when events inexorably bust MSM campaigns.
