	If people were informed rather than sheltered, if they were taught critical thinking skills, if they knew the world through their own eyes instead of the media proxy, the country would be a much safer place.

What do you make of it? Other than poor security, I'm not sure what to make of it. Gut feeling is there's a lot more to the story than is being told.

No security on the night it happened? Hmmm something seems fishy.

Sometimes its big stuff too. Doesnt usually make news because stolen military weapons dont look good on a CO's officer eval. Just sayin...

My gut feeling is that there's more to the story also. Honestly my first thought was the Defense budget cuts, HS has bought all this extra ammo and now they need some more weapons to shoot the ammo. Who else could empty that warehouse under people's noses and get away with it. And this is the most I've ever said on any subject in regards to guns or ammo.

Slow and steady wins the race!

Just my thought on the subject, they are headed for some dark corner of the black market in a third world theatre far, far away.

I've gotten searched more when leaving a military post than when going on one because of weapons dissapearinig.
