Aren't all the firearms at SHOT required to be rendered inoperative - removed firing pins, etc.?
Would that make the theft more of stealing replicas or art versus firearms?

If you read the article, that's how they found them. Trying to buy a firing pin for an AR at a gun store.

A pair of Las Vegas men were charged Wednesday with stealing dozens of firearms from the Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show in January.

Jamikko Foster, 27, and Eduardo Limon, 28, worked as forklift operators during the trade show at the Sands Expo and Convention Center, according to a criminal complaint.

The two appeared in court to face federal charges of possession of a stolen firearm and possession of an unregistered firearm after authorities said they had stolen at least 65 firearms, including machine guns and rifles, from four companies ? Remington Arms, LKCI, Blaser USA and Legacy Sports International ? Jan. 20-29.

Both men were released on their own recognizance, though U.S. Magistrate Judge Nancy Koppe restricted them from possessing weapons while out of custody.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Phillip Smith told the judge that their jobs helped facilitate the thefts, though ATF agents ?solved the crime in a near record-breaking period of time.? He added that the two men ? who were part of Teamsters Local 631 ? apparently had plans to sell the weapons. The prosecutor said Foster had a criminal history dating to 2010.

Limon?s attorney, Chris Rasmussen, said, ?My client looks forward to resolving this matter expeditiously.?

Foster is a lifelong resident of the state and is married with two children, according to his lawyer, Deputy Federal Public Defender Andrew Wong.

The list of weapons and accessories takes up two pages of a spreadsheet in a criminal complaint: Remington machine guns, rifles and pistols; Denel Land Systems machine guns; Mauser rifles, Glock pistols; Sauer & Sohn rifles; and Advanced Armament silencers.

The Las Vegas office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was notified of the thefts last week and launched an investigation with the Metropolitan Police Department?s Crime Gun Intelligence Center, the complaint stated.

Silencers and machine guns must be registered with the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record, according to the complaint.

SHOT Show organizers require licensees to remove firing pins from all displayed weapons before the firearms enter the convention center, the complaint stated, meaning the guns would need to be modified before they could shoot.

The ATF issued an alert on Friday asking gun store owners to ?be attentive for any individuals seeking gunsmithing services or, more specifically, firing pins.?

The next day, the owner of Gun Shop Las Vegas on St. Rose Parkway in Henderson reached out to the ATF, saying Limon, Foster and a woman had purchased a 12-gauge shotgun and magazines and asked about a firing pin for an AR-style firearm.

The men said ?they were told by an associate that the firing pin needed to be replaced when it was cleaned,? according to the complaint. The owner concluded ?the individuals were unfamiliar and/or new to firearms.? Limon told the owner that he worked at SHOT show.

On Monday, an ATF special agent spotted Foster?s black Chevrolet Impala, which had been seen at the Henderson store, parked at The Pearl at St. Rose apartments on Spencer Street near the gun store.

Authorities later found the weapons inside the apartments of Foster and Limon, noting in the complaint that neither had any weapons registered.

Las Vegas Sands Corp. spokesman Ron Reese declined to comment Wednesday night.

A serialized lower receiver is a firearm according to the ATF, so firing pin or no, they stole guns.

Isn't this how the Peaky Blinders got started?

Isn't this how the Peaky Blinders got started?

Irving forces me to learn something new almost every day. Never heard of these people before:

The Peaky Blinders were a criminal gang based in Birmingham, England, during World War I.
Members of this gang wore a signature outfit: tailored jackets, a lapel overcoat, button waistcoats, silk scarves, bell-bottom trousers, leather boots, and peaked flat caps.
During the 1890s, the slums of Birmingham were overtaken by violent street gangs who, upon the turn of the 20th century, became highly organized with their own systems of hierarchy. Their violent tendencies led to vast amounts of political control and social power.

And, how they may have been named:

The name Peaky Blinders is popularly said to be derived from a practice of stitching razor blades (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor_blade) into the peak of their flat caps (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_cap), which could then be used as weapons. Although the Gillette company introduced the first replaceable safety razor system in 1903, they would have been a luxury item, and unlikely to be in use as weapons in this manner, making this name origin likely apocryphal. However, historian and criminal profiler John Douglas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_E._Douglas) asserted that these hats were used as a weapon of choice for members. It is believed that members sewed razor blades into their caps so they could headbutt enemies, essentially blinding (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blinding_(punishment)) them.

Reports alternatively issue that members slashed the foreheads of enemies causing blood to pour down into their eyes, temporarily blinding them. Birmingham historian Carl Chinn (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Chinn) believes that the name comes solely from the popular usage of "peaky" as a descriptor for a flat cap with a peak. "Blinder" was also a familiar Birmingham slang term, used even to this day, to describe a dapper appearance, i.e. striking enough to blind. Yet another possible meaning of the name Peaky Blinders comes from these street reprobates sneaking up behind someone and pulling their hat peak over their face so they couldn't describe their assailants after they had been mugged.

Maybe more than anyone cared to know?
Irving Blinder?

[Irving]

They supposedly sewed razor blades into their lapels (in case anyone grabbed them) and their caps (so they could take them off and hit people with them). There is a fictional Netflix show about them that is four seasons and pretty great. In the show they rise to power when they steal a load of guns to sell and that ends up changing the landscape of the organized crime. I'm not sure if the razor blades is from history or Netflix though.

[Irving]

As far as the judge letting them off easy, if I had to guess I'd say it was because it was obvious that they had no firearm experience and didn't really know what they were getting themselves into as they just stole to re-sell. In my mind though, their ignorance isn't an excuse for a lower sentence and since the government loves to make examples out of people to prevent similar crimes in the future, this would have been the perfect case in which to do that.

Oops, I was adding to the description when you posted your response.
Sorry.

Interesting.

Sad that ones "reputation" is pulled down by lowlife relatives one has nothing to do with. I have a couple hood rat nephews. Had a debt collector call me once for one of them. That was fun.

Is this were any one of us, we’d be locked down with a $2M bond and our dogs would be shot.

[OctopusHighball]

The fact that they were Teamsters in Vegas have anything to do with it?

The jails are full of extremely violent felons in Vegas. There is no room for non-violent criminals. Unless you owe the state lots of money.Then you will be jailed too. Probably released on a $50,000 PR bond. If you don't show, then you pay the bond which is unlikely to be returned. In the end, it is all about the money.
