“I recently had a conversation with another AUSA from the Tucson office,” Detty recalled. "Regarding OWR he said you have to look at the end gain-what was it? To see where the guns were going? We already know where the drug cartel kingpins live and operate. To seize their assets? They'd only be able to seize assets in the US-which were very little. Why commit all these man hours and millions of dollars to arrest people for straw purchases? The only answer that makes sense is to have these guns show up at Mexican crime scenes."

Yes, the only answer that does make sense is for ATF "Operations" weapons to show up at Mexican crime scenes. Especially since Cartel sicarios, killers, often used fully automatic weapons to kill people - and then left a traceable F&F weapon as a high priced calling card.
High priced as in $600 for the gun, plus $200 for the straw purchasers commission, plus other costs getting the Sport Utility Rifle across the border; against $60 for a fully automatic AK-47 from the international arms dealers the Cartels deal with.
