Lawless government employees following a lawless regime, if it was you or I that could not produce a 'registered' select fire weapon on demand, we would be in jail. Instead they put some faceless bureaucrat in charge of the program and it's 'unknown', 'inconclusive' or 'sloppy'.
NO ONE will be fired over this... the laws are for thee but not for me.
Fusion Investigates: How did America's police departments lose loads of military-issued weapons?

Haunting images of local police officials using military-issued equipment to quell protests in Ferguson, Missouri, have raised new concerns about the Pentagon's controversial program to equip local and state police departments with military surplus weaponry.
The program, now under White House review, has been plagued by messy bookkeeping, bureaucratic confusion and scores of missing weapons.
Fusion has learned that 184 state and local police departments have been suspended from the Pentagon's "1033 program" for missing weapons or failure to comply with other guidelines. We uncovered a pattern of missing M14 and M16 assault rifles across the country, as well as instances of missing .45-caliber pistols, shotguns and 2 cases of missing Humvee vehicles.

In the scathing report, the inspector general's office of the Department of Interior faults staff at the agency for having no idea how many weapons they control and says the department has no clear policies or procedures for investigating missing weapons. The office said top managers, including the police chief, have shown a "lackadaisical attitude toward firearms management."
