Clearly they cannot as one dealer is talking. And that is my problem here, only one dealer is talking.
Either many more dealers are staying quiet or these firearms came through another source.
Which dealer are you talking about? The only one that I have heard of was Carter's Country in Texas, represented by Dick Deguerin. It was actually Carter's lawyer that was making the statement.
As the focus of project Gunwalker is in Phoenix, Arizona, I think we can be fairly sure that more than one dealer is involved.
The only other likely source would be ATF seizures. They’d need to doctor or destroy the records cover up the fact that those guns made it to Mexico after they were seized.
In 1996 Clinton's buddies the Chinese got caught shipping full auto weapons to the gangs in LA, it was described as enough weapons for a small army. The Clinton's had no intention of leaving the WH in 96.
I bet you it's the Chinese, and this “ATF STING” is just a cover story.
I've got a feeling Zippo and Co. are doing in Mexico what they did in Egypt.
