Daily Mail Fast and Furious report repeats unsubstantiated claim

How one ‘devises’ a program that completely omits the part where weapons are followed from gun stores to cartel leaders, and then expects any other result, is left unexplored by Mail Online and other "legitimate news media” apologists. How anyone can track guns without even attempting to, or botch a sting that has no mark, are questions those who spread such excuses never try to answer. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes that, if by "track" you mean order agents to allow guns to fall into the hands of criminal cartels and make no attempt to follow, and then rely on finding them again next to dead bodies so you can point a finger and demand new gun bans, then yeah, that tracks with what the administration did. It's the wrong track, of course, but "real reporters" have a narrative to maintain.
