    Yet let's continue to blame guns and make more laws:

    "More than a dozen people are charged in connection with a string of brazen break-ins at gun stores across greater Philadelphia, and authorities say dozens of the ill-gotten firearms are still out on the streets.
    In a joint statement by prosecutors from Montgomery and Bucks counties on Wednesday, Jan. 25, officials said that two adults and 11 teens were taken into custody following a months-long investigation into the burglaries. "

    Amish! :tantrum:

    “Angel Mason, 40, of Philadelphia, was charged with corrupt organizations, conspiracy, illegal firearm possession, evidence tampering, and related offenses. She was released after posting $5,000 bail, authorities said.”

    Harsh!

    The poor children! Forced by their circumstances into a minor criminal act that they probably didn't even understand. They need understanding and counseling, and an Xbox.

    I wonder if the Feds will get involved?
    They should. IIRC the BATF should be involved with this and I would think FBI also from a conspiracy standpoint if no other angle.

    This after-hours car crash and grab of firearms from stores is not a thing isolated to PA. It's been going on for at least a decade if not more spanning the country from CA to PA to MD and beyond. And if anything, getting more frequent.

    Chit like this played at least a part in what happened with that guy at Engaged.

    FED needs to get involved with this and nail these fools to the cross. And if they can't get the yoots, then add on child abuse, or what have you, to the adult ringleaders.

    Local DA should also nail these fools but it looks like they are missing the hammer, nails, and willpower.

    The stupidity of deploring gun violence, while failing to nail gun thiefs who contribute to the violence, is beyond my level of understanding. It makes absolutely no sense.
