Guns Stolen From Israeli Plant, Sold to Criminals

More ammunition for those who make the case that all illegal firearms must have started out legally. We have long said that guns could be stolen from law enforcement or the military, thus these were never legally owned by anyone other than government. Case in point, The Jerusalem Post is reporting that guns were stolen from the plant that makes them!
“Two residents of Rishon Lezion were arrested this week for stealing up to 170 advanced firearms from a secret Israel Weapon Industries plant and selling them to criminal organizations, police revealed on Wednesday.”
According to the story the men would take out up to 10 guns to test, but only return with around seven, selling the rest to criminals. While we honestly hate reporting that these events happen, we regret more that the anti-firearm crowd buries it head in the sand that criminals obtain guns this way.
