We're the Only Ones Pooped After a Long Flight Enough

The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said a special agent returning to Mitchell International Airport at Milwaukee left her firearm in a bathroom there Tuesday night.
And naturally we don't know her name and nothing has happened to her. But she gets to take her gun along when she travels because she's obviously so much more responsible with it than you and I would be.

Oh, and "she's embarrassed." Well la-de-frickin'-dah. I guess we should just be grateful she made it to the bathroom on time, though, because we all know how unsightly stained man slacks can be.

Just what would BATFU do if a dealer could't account for a gun? Hell, they want to close family businesses down for accepting "Y" or "N" on a few forms.

We'll keep an eye on this one--there may be more of interest to come...

Let's see here. Someone found that handgun. Pretty much anyone who found it, due to it being an airport venue, would be a "prohibited person".

Shouldn't they be doing an Olafson on her for illegal transfer of possession of a firearm? Then follow up with illegally transferring a machine gun, of course, only after careful testing (modification) to make it slam fire.

Where are all the authorized journalists on this?

The mentality of only ones is sickeningly simple, badge = superiority.

The actual/forgotten meaning is badge = public servant.

Good God a'mighty. "...Recovered by local authorities or a civilian." Maybe the gun fairy. The agent should be fired...she'll probably be promoted. Gotta love Big Bro.
