BATF was soooo stupid!
They didn’t even take bullet samples and empty casing samples before selling the guns.
If they had done that they could have at least been able to trace the guns history prior to recovery of the physical weapon itself. The entire chain of command is incompetent.
These guns now won’t be traceable until the actual weapon is recovered.
Think about it for a moment. If you were running guns for a purpose(s) other than catching criminals would you want them easily traceable? I wouldn’t. In fact the purpose of F&F/gunwalker was to manufacture evidence with which to create new draconian gun laws here. Think back to Barry’s first year or so when the MSM was running all the stories about how US guns were flooding Mex and getting into the hands of drug cartels. That was propaganda on which to build more gun laws. There would come a point when Barry and the dems would have to act. The only fly in that ointment were the whistleblowers who blew the operation. When Barry spoke of working behind the scenes gun restriction this is what he was talking about. Our own govt conspired against us.
Not traceable? you think they _wanted_ them traced?

That might have actually been a waste of time/effort/money; after firing several thousand rounds through the weapon the “thumbprint” would have changed sufficiently to make it impossible [pr nearly so] to trace.
>The entire chain of command is incompetent.
Agreed; but that is because the whole idea of having a “sting” operation where the items leave your zone-of-control, much less jurisdiction!, is absurd.
