That surely is a lot of equipment missing ... but have you heard about the FAA audit with (5) I say five billion dollars in land, equipment and other holdings have just dissappeared?

... they have no idea where the stuff is.

I swear, our government is run by a bunch of morons.

One would think that the stuff that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and FIREARMS could handle the best would be a bunch of firearms.
