Bearing Arms: The state of California has some of the strictest gun control laws on the books. If gun control worked as advertised, there would be absolutely no gun crime in California to speak of. However, it doesn’t and there is.
In fact, it’s kind of hard to stop gun crime when people in places of trust within state and local governments are among those allegedly committing the crimes.
The manager of a gun store at the Los Angeles Police Academy has been arrested for allegedly stealing firearms and selling them to several officers and an L.A. County sheriff’s deputy, according to records and sources.
Archi Duenas, 33, was booked on suspicion of felony grand theft on March 20 after nearly 40 firearms disappeared from the gun store, according to two law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation.
A dozen of the weapons have not been found, while the others were relinquished to detectives by the purchasers, sources said.
Police Academy selling guns to cops is illegal?
Sounds like he just cut out the middle-men.
And, of course, the guns weren’t his … but that’s quibbling …
izlamo delenda est …
Affirmative action hiring and then fear of proper oversight. All that’s missing is obama and the media.
The missing guns probably went to Mexico.
To deal unlawfully with guns, (because of serial numbers), is really quite stupid.
The LAPD and the Mex drug cartels are almost one in the same.
I sure hope the costumed enforcers who bought those guns, and who simply MUST have known the transactions were in violation of both state and fed law, are arrested, charged, arraigned, tried, convicted, sentenced to the same hard time terms that one of us ordinary people would get whacked with in similar circumstances, and, oh, yeah, fired.
I shall not hold my breath.
Oh, so Cops can have throwaways
Hang this bastard.
Corruption in the cops is bad.
The cops who bought need prosecuted
We’re supposed to be doing our part to make police hero jobs easier because of a virus or something. I have heard that they are above the law.

And you heard it from them, so you can be sure it’s true.

Why no picture?
Why no picture?
Because it would have looked like Poncho Villa and his gang.
the heart of man is inherently evil. How can a citizen justify their eagerness to put any person in authority over them? Thats what you do when you either vote in big gov people or allow them to continue growing government. When people get authority, they almost always abuse it. This is about COPS, barely trained LEOS, unvetted, buying handguns illegally. These are the people who then arrest citizens who bought guns illegally. Young people becoming cops doesnt make them virtuous, they think they are above the law.
LAPD has been actively recruiting Hispanics for decades, and has lowered their Standards and background checks to make sure they meet their quotas. So no one should be surprised when MS13 and the Suerenos infiltrate. Such bullshit will continue unabated until SoCal is indistinguishable from Mexico. It’s nearly there now.

AND La Raza owns every school board down there. Which means they set the standards for all the pre law, law enforcement, and law classes being taught to these fine upstanding landscapers.
…..Makes it feel like your vote doesn’t count for much, HUH?
“…Govt will never solve our problems … GOVT IS OUR PROBLEM!”!
