ATF Gunwalkers: Agency Allowed Sale of Guns to Mexican Drug Cartel ‘Straw Buyers’
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (and Really Big Fires) is staring down the barrel of a major scandal, one that could lead to the agency’s extinction. The ATF stands accused of letting buyers purchase rifles in the U.S. knowing that the guns were headed for Mexican drug cartels. Worse, they may have literally walked the guns into Mexico themselves (hence the scandal’s name). Worse still, it appears that two of those weapons were used by the drug gang that shot and killed Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry . . .
All this to justify the existence of the ATF’s Project Gunrunner firearms interdiction program and, thus, the agency itself. In other words, the agency allowed guns to be smuggled into Mexico so they could justify a program designed to stop guns from being smuggled into Mexico. How about that, then?
Reports of the ATF’s murderous impropriety have been circulating on the net for weeks (including here). A U.S. Senator has now taken up the investigation. The S has hit the mainstream media fan.
