“There’s an iron river of guns flowing to Mexico,” said special agent Thomas Mangan, spokesman for the Phoenix Field Division of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives."Iron river." How pseudo-Churchillian.
Leave it to BATFU to give the "authorized journalists" a new propaganda term. Somebody thought that one up and decided it would be useful. Useful for what? should be the very next question.
Maybe if the fedgov would do its damn job, one of its branches wouldn't be able to complain about the consequences of a porous border.
This, of course, is simply a bureaucracy trying to justify its appropriations and expand its influence by throwing We the People under the bus, and the media is more than eager to help. It is also individuals within an agency promoting their advancement at the expense of their countrymen. The fact that the actions being described are already illegal seems not to be an issue here--we need to make them more illegal!
We're seeing more and more stories about U.S. guns smuggled into Mexico. We ignore at our peril this increasingly important front in the war on guns.

The fedgov is NOT going to do its job. This is all part of the plan for the Great North Amerikan Union of Socialist Republiks. Our Constitution will soon be just a quaint footnote in the history of Mankind.
I think it is time for other countries to smuggle a lot of guns into America. Why should they get all the good stuff?
Let's see now, what they are doing is illegal here. And even the possession of one .22 cal. cartridge case can get you 10 years in the Mexican slam, but if we fuck (sorry, just couldn't think of more appropriately descriptive term that really captured the essence) the American people with one more illegal restriction on their rights the bad guys will all go straight and voila', problem solved.
Yeah, my aching ass.
Not to worry, though, those guns will be returned. I promise. In fact, some have already been back. Ask some BP agents in jail for returning fire from them.
