Exclusive Report: Documents indicate ATF, FBI allowed Indiana ‘crime gun’ sales

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has acknowledged an Indiana dealer’s cooperation in conducting straw purchases at the direction of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.  Exclusive documents obtained by Gun Rights Examiner show the dealer cooperated with ATF by selling guns to straw purchasers, and that bureau management later asserted these guns were being traced to crimes. [More]
Today's special Gun Rights Examiner report provides documentation that the government was aware that guns authorized for straw purchases were being traced to crime scenes.

Expect it to be buried and not even acknowledged by any major news sources or government officials unless you take it on yourself to send the link to news outlets and to your representatives, and urge your friends to do the same.

Gunwalker is about what ATF actively allowed to take place, that is, the deliberate "walking" of guns, but one has to wonder how many guns they passively let go to criminals just by looking the other way, with no official recognition ever exercised at all.
It would have been much, much easier for them to not even acknowledge guns walking than to actively monitor the walking, and they could have gotten many times more guns to criminals that way, since it wouldn't have required the use of any personnel at all. Turning a blind eye takes no effort at all.
Arming criminals generally, so as to raise the level of "gun violence" to advance their gun control agenda seems to have been the plan, thus it's no surprise that they were doing the same thing in Indiana that that they were doing along the Mexican border. Their agenda demanded a bigger body count and they meant to get it, one way or another, any way they could, in Mexico and the US too.

It's obvious to me that criminals don't need a "loophole" they've got ATF, Holder & Obama.

Forwarded to Indy Star and TV news stations. Maybe someone will pick it up.

All those "really good guys..." keep working for this agency, why?

Surprise, surprise! ATF has an anti-gun and anti-freedom agenda! Shucks! Lookee there! Who would'a thunk that?

I keep hearing about all those "really good guys" who work for ATF and think it is a "Great Agency" and how they fully support it's mission... really good guys and all that.

I would remind you that those "really good guys" only blew the whistle after a Federal Agent was killed. While it was mere mortals being killed and maimed, business went as usual.
