Homeland Security reports losing guns

[Alpha Mare]

WASHINGTON — The nation's Homeland Security officers lost nearly 200 guns in bowling alleys, public restrooms, unlocked cars and other unsecure areas, with some ending up in the hands of felons. The problem, outlined in a new federal report, has prompted disciplinary actions and extra training.
Most of the misplaced weapons — including handguns, shotguns and military rifles — were never found. "Most losses occurred because officers did not properly secure firearms," says the Homeland Security inspector general report.

Who the HELL doesn't follow basic weapons security or retention? Stupid asses should have to pay to replace their weapons and  go through whatever course they had to take to get their jobs.

They should be fired.
