Stewart purchased this particular firearm on December 8, 2009, one of 40 that he purchased that day while under ATF surveillance,”
40? That DAY?
Jeez.
Talk about smoking guns ...
They belong in jail.
kudos...on the money...he’s an idiot
Those on the table in front look like Krinkovs?
At retail 40 at 300 each is $ 12,000 ?
Remember, buy in bulk and SAVE!
Along with that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave
The economics of scale...
Just to remind everyone, this operation was intended to feed guns to criminals in Mexico so that the Obama administration could use it as an excuse for more gun control. The fact that the ATF was encouraging it to happen was never supposed to be made public.
OK, where can I get one for $300??? I see they have folding stocks.
The ATF was doing more than encourage it. They created it, enabled it, supervised it, and carried it out. Probably bankrolled it too.
Nope, one has.
I stand corrected.
FBI Criminal Informant Complicit in Brian Terry’s Death (PJM Exclusive)Previously, Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry’s death in Peck Canyon, Arizona was described as a chance meeting that led to a firefight: an illegal alien “rip crew” working for the Sinaloa cartel was hoping to find other illegal aliens and to rob them at gunpoint. Instead, they stumbled across a Border Patrol unit and murdered Agent Terry.
Last week, the Washington Times offered a new version of the encounter: they reported that the rip crew was not hunting illegals, but Border Patrol teams — with the intention of engaging them in combat.
Sources now tell PJ Media that neither version of events is accurate: the rip crew was not waiting for a chance encounter with other illegals, nor did the members intend to engage American law enforcement agents.
The rip crew was in Peck Canyon that evening with the intention of stealing money and drugs from a specific shipment of which they had prior knowledge.
(snip)
The rip crew knew to be in Peck Canyon that December evening because a CI working for the FBI found out about a smuggling run — from the FBI.
(snip)
A source tells PJM that the FBI knew from wiretaps that the CI was using their information to set up an ambush. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) — through its own CIs and communications intercepts — was also aware of the planned assault. Neither the DEA nor FBI warned Border Patrol about the expected criminal activity.
(snip)
Multiple sources tell PJM that this third weapon “disappeared” because it was the weapon carried by the FBI CI who ran the rip crew. When it was recovered near the scene of the murder and subsequently traced by the ATF, it traced back to the FBI CI via the gun shop in Texas where it was purchased.
(snip)
Neither agency bothered to warn Border Patrol to keep their BORTAC teams out of Peck Canyon that evening. As a direct result of this FBI and DEA failure — combined with Homeland Security forcing BORTAC units to carry less-lethal beanbag rounds in some of their primary weapons — Brian Terry’s under-armed four-man unit walked into an ambush against a heavily armed rip crew, at least five of whom were carrying rifles.
Brian Terry’s murder was entirely preventable. The incompetence of the DEA and FBI let his Border Patrol unit walk into an ambush. After the ambush, it appears the FBI tampered with evidence to cover up that one of their informants was involved with the murder of a federal agent.

On the heels of his boss' resignation. What did 0bama know ... and when did he know it?
“Just to remind everyone, this operation was intended to feed guns to criminals in Mexico so that the Obama administration could use it as an excuse for more gun control.”
Also to help our government’s preferred cartel in their fight against rival cartels. It was a twofer.
Injured? Not so “sexy” a headline, sadly.
