    20,000 U.S. M-16s stolen from unguarded warehouse in Kuwait

    Special to WorldTribune.com
    ABU DHABI — Kuwait has reported the theft of a massive amount of
    U.S. weapons.

    A U.S. soldier on the range with an M-16 assault rifle.

    The Interior Ministry said thieves broke into a warehouse and stole a
    huge amount of firearms and ammunition. The ministry said 20,000 U.S.-origin M-16 assault rifles and 15,000 rounds for 9mm pistols were stolen.

    “There were no guards during the break-in,” the ministry said on April
    7.

    The ministry said the target was a warehouse of the Interior Ministry in
    Subiya, Middle East Newsline reported. The statement said thieves broke three doors and removed the entire contents of the warehouse.

    Kuwait has been a major defense client of the United States. The U.S.
    military has stationed some 13,000 troops, most of them assigned to
    logistics, to the Gulf Cooperation Council sheikdom.

    Will these rifles be reported under the universal background check?

    What about this alien? Did he register his gun?

    Kuwait probably got them for free, yet we, who paid for them, can't get ANY. Not to mention ammo. They probably had 30rd. magazines too.....

    I think I just saw them listed on ARMLIST middle east............................. somewhere on Durka Durka street.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"
