Hundreds of Guns Lost by U.S. Park Police

Only the government can be trusted with weapons, of course

U.S. Park Police couldn't account for hundreds of weapons in its inventory, according to a new Inspector General report, which found that the agency's firearms could be vulnerable to "theft or misuse."

Investigating an anonymous tip alleging the USPP couldn't account for military-style rifles and its weapons program, the Interior Department's inspector general made unannounced visits to weapons storage facilities in Washington, D.C., New York, California and Georgia, according to the report released Thursday.

The investigation found approximately 1,400 weapons, including handguns, rifles and shotguns, that weren't listed in inventories.
