ATF Lost Dozens of Weapons, Laptops, Audit Shows

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said Wednesday it is changing its ways after an audit showed that the agency was losing guns and laptops, often through carelessness. According to a Justice Department audit, the inspector general reported the ATF was unable to account for 76 weapons and 418 laptops over the past five years.

A spokesman for the Bureau explained the losses saying, “Hey, cut us some slack, we were out having a smoke and a beer.”
