"Oh, golly, don't mention that the BATF actually put the gun in the criminals hand,"

I would be interested in learning the source for that assertion about the BATF. I am an NRA member and no friend of the BATF at all. Any light we can shine on BATF's shady practices will help private gun ownership in the future.

In the blue box, which is the Journalists Guide to this scandal, note point two: "Second,that they instructed U.S. gun dealers to proceed with questionable and illegal sales of firearms to suspected gunrunners." and ESPECIALLY POINT FOUR: "Fourth, that one of the rifles ATF allowed to be smuggled into Mexico was involved in the death of CBP Agent Brian Terry. (See the link to Grassley’s February 9 letter in the footnotes below.)"

“Oh, golly, don’t mention that the BATF actually put the gun in the criminals hand,”

The “source for that assertion” is an ATF whistle blower (perhaps more than one)currently working with Senator Grassley and his committee investigating Project “Gunwalker” and the agency’s involvement in the December 14th death of Border Guard Brian Terry. The ATF promoted the sale of weapons to KNOWN straw purchasers for transport to Mexican drug cartels. The ATF facilitated the transport across the border. Google “Project Gunwalker” and you will find all the info you could want. It is a disgrace which must be exposed to the American public.
