[quote:gebahie:MV8yMTIzMDc4XzY4RTAwQjU=] — Seattle police worked with Army officials Monday to track down the history of a nonfunctional missile launcher that showed up at a weapons buyback program and determine whether it was legal or possibly stolen from the military. A man standing outside the event Saturday bought the military weapon for $100 from another person there, according to Detective Mark Jamieson. The single-use device is a launch tube assembly for a Stinger portable surface-to-air missile and already had been used. As a controlled military item, it is not available to civilians through any surplus or disposal program offered by the government, according to Jamieson. http://news.yahoo.com/missile-launcher-shows-seattle-gun-buyback-174331546.html [/quote]
