Related: About this forumAutomatic weapons missing
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. Fully automatic weapons are missing from the Christian County Sheriffs Department, the interim sheriff says in a 19-page report.
However, the report said the sheriffs department and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are working together to find the missing weapons and notes that they could have been legitimately transferred to another agency or authorized (Federal Firearms Licensed) firearms dealer.
The report called the missing weapons one of the most disturbing things.
Additionally, silencers, suppressors, and full automatic trigger components are also gone with no paper trail, the report said.
