Good to see this make its way to the LSM.

Just so people can sleep well tonight ZERO said at his newser today that they were stepping up their searches of TRAINS to keep guns from getting into Messico.

There don’t you feel safer NOW? /S

Bravo Sierra!

Nothing back fired, they got caught. This gubment needs to go.

Hmmm. Sounds like Obama’s Iran Contra. Wonder if the dems will hold hearings?

Only BATFE could be so utterly STUPID as to set up an operation like this. What good are they?

We’ll get another Waco or Ruby Ridge soon, mark my words.

I read about this, how the DOJ is involved, and the first thing I think of, “what a great way to manipulate a suspension of the 2nd Amendment!”

[Brad from Tennessee]

“. . .There’s no telling how many people died from Project Gunrunner weapons. ATF must provide a full accounting of the operation and explain what, exactly, were the benefits reaped from a program that appears to have directly fed Mexico’s gun violence and may well have contributed to two American law enforcement deaths.”

It's great this scandal is finally being exposed. The House needs to open this can of worms and reveal what the editorial misses: “Gunrunner” was about fabricating evidence to support ATF/Federale propaganda that U.S. firearms retailers are the prime source of drug cartel weapons.

The "Gunwalker" story continues to gain traction.

[drypowder]

The BATFE Gunwalker program is orchestrated by the Obozo admin to provide the US government with what they would call valid information in order to void or severely restrict US citizens from gun ownership. Drugs and illegals flooding in from Mexico so what does the Obozo do, he makes a deal with Clderon to allow Mexican trucks to enter the US. Wouldn't that be the last thing a president would do if he actually gave a hoot about the security of the US? The Mob, the Power and the Money are the Obozo’s gods.

I'm glad to see Fox finally talking about this, though right now it's only Judge Napolitano who seems to notice. Queerbait Shep "I love myself almost as much as I love other men" Smith, and their equally queer Miami reporter (the one who needs a haircut, but his boyfriend won't let him) had the story of how the Border Patrol agents was killed with a rifle "from an American dealer", but totally ignored the reason why...BECAUSE THE ATF TOLD THE DEALER TO GO THROUGH WITH THE SALE!!!! /rant

Anyway, I'm glad to see this story start getting some traction. I can't believe I'm thankful for CBS, but even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

I would like to see a Congressional investigation over this operation; its clear that the Holder/Obama DOJ is not going to initiate action. A “sting” operation of this magnitude must go down as a real bone-headed idea. If, indeed, the BATFE allowed several thousand weapons to cross the border, how the heck did they think they could keep track of who got ‘em? Its utterly shameless on BATFe’s part that agents died because of this ill-planned affair. These guns probably account for 90% of any such guns that actually were smuggled into Mexico from the U. S.; the types of guns used by the cartels sure ain’t the semiauto sporter versions of the AK; they are rather full auto select fire arms which the cartel can probably order up from any number of global arms dealers who do nothing but proliferate stolen/diverted or purchased select fire units. What idiot has to go to a U.S. border town to buy guns for the cartels when all the latter has to do is call up Chavez and have a plane-load delivered from Venezuela (or Cuba)(or China)?

Project Gunrunner

I wonder how project Crackdealer is progressing.

[He Rides A White Horse]

Mexican leaders have warned for years that lax U.S. enforcement of gun smuggling was fueling border-area violence, but they should be particularly disturbed to learn that, in some cases, weapons were being deliberately allowed to flow southward.

I'll ask a simple question. Would our government do something like this?

CBS News reported last week about Project Gunrunner, an operation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to track how weapons purchased in U.S. gun stores reached Mexican drug gangs. Had Gunrunner been a limited, tightly focused study, it might have provided useful intelligence to shut down major gun-smuggling operations. Instead, it went badly awry.

The whole paragraph is a joke. The government couldn't cobble together a study regarding the nesting habits of the "Two Tailed Double Red Breasted Finch."

Disturbing recent news reports suggest that federal agents knowingly let arms buyers for Mexican drug cartels smuggle high-powered weaponry across the border, with deadly consequences for U.S. law enforcers

Napolitano has to go.

an ATF operation run amok

Our government is running amok.

I mean it. Why is Napolitano still head of Homeland Security? She should have been gone after those documents calling, well everybody a terrorist.

Look at this spin. Who are they trying to fool?
