"That's what we do as an agency," Jaquez said. "ATF's primary mission is to make sure that we curtail gun trafficking." Note: The agent does not say "illegal" gun trafficking. Paging Senator Grassley. Please pick up the white courtesy phone.

Well, it depends upon what the goal of this action was.
If it was to follow guns and bust the gun runners, they failed.
If it was to add some artificial credence to their asinine assertion that the drug cartels got 90% of their guns from the U.S., they failed. It just took a while for the truth to out. Amazing this is from CBS.

The BATF mission was to curtail gun running. That's why they made sure that all of those illegal guns were walked over the border instead of run.
After all, running with a gun, just like running with scissors, is dangerous.

Their counterparts on the Mexico side are aiding the cartels in moving the drugs.
Its called job security, you want to make director you need more staff and resources under you.

For anyone who knows...do cartridges fired from an AK-47 display a distinctive impression that can be traced back to the firing gun? Like a pistol?

Why don’t police departments in all the major cities sell guns undercover to suspected traffickers to find out where the guns walk? That way they can get all the guns off the street once someone has been murdered!!! What a terrific idea!!!!
To: Red in Blue PA
I bet they’ve done this with drugs as well.

Mods,
Why was this removed from Breaking News?
If collusion among govt departments in illegal acts does not count as Breaking News, then what does?
And this just came out today.

Some days I think the entire federal government is a corrupt cesspool. Other days I am sure.

to answer your question, to a degree, yes. A case fired from a gun leaves a “fingerprint” allowing a match to be attained. However, unlike real fingerprints, the more a gun is used, the more the chamber, firing pin impression and rifling change.
This means that the first bullet fired from a gun will have different markings due to wear than say the 500th or 5000th round. The cases will bear different markings as well.
If the barrel is lapped, the markings on the lands and grooves will show a different pattern than before the lapping.
Firearms forensics is a fickle science depending upon the suspect weapon having not been modified or shot all to hell before recovery.
