The Purge may be a bit far...but hey...weapons in CPZ city...Some lady out for a walk happened upon a couple of guns stashed in a violin case in the woods near the C&O Canal along the Potomac River in Washington, DC.
After the police were called in, more weapons caches were found, including long guns, pistols, and ammunition in pails and garbage bags tucked away in an area of the woods hikers aren’t known to frequent.
“At this point, we don’t know how they got there, why they’re here or when they got here,” police spokeswoman Sgt. Anna Rose told ABC News.
Could be nothing, but it seems like another red flag.
What is clear at this point is that inauguration day is only four days away and people are amped up like they think it’s going to be the film The Purge.

I wonder if any of them are "Fast & Furious" guns...

This happened almost 2 weeks ago, and not one peep of this on the TV news? Did Fox news channel even cover it?

Most definitely! I expect them to be stolen but it'll be interesting to see where the trace trail ends.MyWifeSaidYes wrote:Okay, these guns? I'm actually interested to see the trace data on these guns.

Re: Weapons Cache found along Potomac
Oh, ok. I usually get my news from the Fox news tv channel instead of the website. Although I didn't see it on there, I don't watch all the shows 24/7.Werz wrote:It was on their web site, dated January 4, 2017.M-Quigley wrote:This happened almost 2 weeks ago, and not one peep of this on the TV news?

The Trump presidency could be a purge of sorts, at least legislatively. (a purge of unneeded regulations, bad laws and executive orders)bignflnut wrote:The Purge may be a bit far...but hey...weapons in CPZ city...
