Wouldn't sell 'em here for much, in Chi-town, they would go for big, especially if touted as a "cop-choppa" as some of my more urban friends would refer to them as...

Did they get their background check done before they snagged them?

I hope they at least left a copy of their FOID...

Gonna agree with the commentators at the bottom, this was an inside job. Of all the trains, of all the cars, they pick one with crates of AR sporting rifles.

That city is miserable enough, corrupt from top to bottom.

I wonder if they knew they were on that particular boxcar, or if they just happened across them.

As mayor Rahm Emanuel will probably say, They probably all came from Indiana. Just like he stated on David Letterman's show, All the gun problems Chicago has is probably because Indiana has no gun control.

Oh they'll stay in Chicago. Englewood is a rough area. You'd think someone would've said "hey, maybe we shouldn't transport a shipment of AR-15s through the middle of the projects."

Yeah, well, we at INGO have been telling Tiny Dancer where to get off:

Definitely an inside job. I know a few years ago they hit a train car near Chicago to the tune of $35,000 worth of S&W handguns. More than likely the R.R. police had something to do with it.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

It certainly is mind boggling how many firearms are stolen from stores and makers each year.

 

[Leadeye]

The machine will get it's cut, business as usual.

 

[UNCLE HARLEY]

Just 13? Cartons? Cases? Boxes?

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

I find this Unpossible to believe. Don't you guys remember? They frown on them there assaultive thingymadoodles in Dear Leader's hometown.

 

[Bennettjh]

Aren't AR rifles banned in Chicago?

 

[Motorhead302]

Does anyone have a shovel I can borrow? I need to bury a crate for a rainy day...

 

[247survivalmindset]

Why go to all that trouble to steal them? Everyone knows criminals get a 50% discount and no request to show ID at at gun shows

I think Mayor Emanuel just pulled a "Fast and Furious" move, nothing new.
