A week after a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives whistleblower described how agents allowed hundreds of U.S. weapons to slip into the hands of Mexican gunrunners, authorities rounded up the mayor and police chief of a small New Mexico town for allegedly conspiring to send weapons across the border.
In a statement announcing the arrests, U.S. officials made a point of saying that none of the guns involved in the alleged conspiracy were knowingly allowed to go into Mexico.
Now they're in a hurry to make it known when trafficked guns aren't BATFE-walked. Are there so many that it's easier to count the ones that BATFE didn't have anything to do with?
Except for the usual lies...
ReplyDelete"Border state gun shops are a chief source of weapons smuggling into Mexico, "
Wonder if these folks turn up to have been "cooperating" with the ATF....
This amuses me:

They're in deep for sure - the ATF just hates competition.
