Audit of US Park Police firearm inventories

Posted by David Hardy · 28 June 2013 12:31 PM

Considering how many FFLs have lost their licenses over recordkeeping errors ... this Office of Inspector General report, reflecting an audit of Park Police gun inventories, is interesting..

"Due to the noncompliant and ad hoc USPP firearms inventory method, we could not determine with any degree of accuracy whether any USPP personnel had taken weapons for unauthorized use."

"During our reviews of USPP field office armories, however, we discovered more than 1,400 extra weapons. These included 477 military-style automatic and semiautomatic rifles. The USPP has a force of approximately 640 sworn officers"

"For example, as recently as April 2013, the Force Firearms Custodian reported two automatic rifles discovered during a firearms search at the USPP Aviation Unit, part of the Anacostia Operations Facility. The Force Firearms. Custodian had no prior knowledge of these weapons and could not locate any
property records pertaining to them."

Doesn't this imply that someone at this facility was in violation of NFA if those weapons were not part of their official agency inventory?

Well, it would but as usual the laws that apply to the little people do not apply to the feds.

Glad to hear that our parks are well protected.

I wonder how much ammo they would find if they looked for it.
