A new Department of Justice, Office of the Inspector General (OIG) audit questions how FBI and DEA gun parts slated for destruction ended up in a “ghost gun” seized during a criminal investigation. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Drug Enforcement Agency are being accused of storing the pistol parts where they could easily be taken by anyone inside their Quantico, VA training academy.
“We concluded that inadequate policies regarding the destruction of employee issued firearms create significant risks that firearms or their parts could be lost or stolen and used in subsequent crimes without accountability,” said the advisory memo from Justice Department Inspector General Michael E.
