Discussion for article #238241
WHAT!?!?
The gun wasn’t bought on the streets where guns are overflowing due to the NRA and can be bought for a dime a dozen? You mean it was actually stolen?
SHOCKING, I’m telling you, JUST SHOCKING!!!
This is a cluster f**k. Somebody in addition to Sanchez should go to jail. How about the sheriff who released him. Maybe the mayor.

Did he find it in the bathroom of the Capitol? Seems to be the place for federal law enforcement to leave their weapons these days…

Why do I think we’re going to discover that the federal agent sold his weapon at a gun show?

Yes, because we all know that a single counter-example completely invalidates the mountain of typical cases.
Little slow, eh?

The Alex Jones False-Flag Brigade is going to have fun with this one.

Isnt this Eric Holder’s fault?
I’ve not read anywhere that the agent’s gun was stolen. The article does not say that it was. Yet the question remains: why didn’t the agent keep the weapon secured? If not in the agents immediate control it should be kept in a locked gun safe. I would also like to see agents be issued guns with fire safe technology meaning only the gun owner can fire the weapon. The technology for this already exists.

He claimed. It was stolen in a car burglary. Wonder if he opposes Obama’s Immigration proposals?
So what felonies had this individual committed? The only crimes mentioned in the article are repeated illegal entry and a twenty year old marijuana charge which has yet to be dealt with in court.

Maybe now is a good time to have a real discussion of immigration.
Like how to keep these criminals off our streets, and secure a border that they keep coming across.
.
Maybe it is also time to sue these sanctuary cities for not enforcing federal immigration law. After all if they can sue a sate for “upholding” federal law why won’t they sue cities/states that break that same law?

Others have commented that Glocks, a popular pistol with LEOs, lack a trigger safety lock. If so, and the gun Mr. Sanchez found was a Glock, then his excuse becomes credible indeed.
I question why the federal agent left his gun allegedly wrapped in a shirt on a park bench; that was a deliberate act, not one of negligence. Whatever Mr. Sanchez is charged with, I believe that the agent should also be indited as an accessory.
Was Mr. Sanchez “a violent felon” before this shooting? I would hate to see San Francisco’s sanctuary status eliminated/ruined because of this specific snafu.

A car break in? Yeesh!
Well, leaving a gun in a car …even if the car’s locked… isn’t really a secured weapon.
I didn’t know the gun was stolen from a car. But I did suspect it was stolen somehow.
At this time there is no evidence that Sanchez is a violent felon, a fact the sensationalist media and right-wingers conveniently gloss over.
Exactly, darrtown. Tragic indeed. This young woman did not have die if the agent’s gun had been personalized. The street guy who found the gun might as well have been picking up a few pounds of useless steel if it would not have fired for him.
Another tragic example of what happens when an industry buys Congress. The gun industry wants their guns to work for everyone to increase their marketability. As I said earlier, 25% of their revenue/profits come from gun sales to dangerous criminals whether these occur from licensed gun dealers who may be corrupt or on the secondary market from straw sellers or from a guy who sells to a relative, friend or neighbor, over the Internet, or from a gun show.
Here is my column from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch following the Michael Brown shooting for any who may be interested:

Glock handguns do have a trigger safety, they don’t have a thumb safety that some other manufacturers do. If the gun was wrapped in a shirt, it’s always possible that the fabric became entangled on the trigger, but the gun will not go off unless the trigger is pulled after the safety in the center of the trigger is depressed. Assuming that it was a Glock…

There’s no chance that the story about the gun is true.
Leaving a gun in a parked car is negligence and any argument defending the practice is certain to be moronic.
If the feds really wanted the guy they could have easily gotten a warrant instead of sending a request.
The fact that the feds sent the guy to SF on a stupid 20-year old 420 charge proves that they were not worried about this illegal.
