Weapons Headed for Vermont
7,500 assault weapons seized in Italy the other day were apparently headed for Vermont.
Officials have linked Century International Arms Inc. in Boca Raton to the discovery of a cache of 7,500 AK-47s hidden beneath piles of properly labeled arms in several cargo containers confiscated in the port of Gioia Tauro in southern Italy several days ago....Investigators determined the ultimate destination of the ship's stash of combat-style weapons was Century's giant warehouse in Fairfax, Vt., near the Canadian border, sources said.
It's not clear at this point who was actually involved in importing the illegal weapons....or to whom they were to be sold.
Pretty scary.
