Wow, this is just crazy. There should be laws in place to make it illegal to break in somewhere and steal a bunch of guns. Or at least put more precautions in place, such as requiring background checks and whatnot before they can steal a gun.

[@timjohnson6975]

@@DailyTheme yeah. Put them behind some glass and tell people they're not allowed to break it and take the guns. I mean, in this case they did break through a wall and everything. But still. Maybe put some locks on each gun that criminals aren't allowed to cut off. That'll sure put a stop to everyone getting guns illegally. Maybe one day nobody will need one

[@fiyahriddims]

Guns should have been secured, the owner has to be accountable for not doing that. Now some inexperienced fool has guns.

[@angelahackney6588]

Well fingerprints an all

[@CarolinaOmaSteph]

Why was those weapons not secured inside a special heavy duty vault after closing? I know the cost is high but worth it to keep from this happening. They should never have easy access in the showroom area. I do realize police response time factors in.

I agree or some kinda cable going through the rifles and hand guns locked up in a safe

[@mgman6000]

But where would the criminals get their guns?

[@patrickharper9297]

Gun stores should be a bit beefier to deter criminals

[@TheOwlCreek]

It was probably ATF members that stole all those guns 🔫

[@105e]

Yes another careless gun store owner Secure your weapons properly!

[@francisgoldstien6153]
