Many people died because of the scheme, included a US border patrolman. Wonder how many innocent Mexican families were impacted by this. The callousness of this administration is chilling.

Though I agree with your sentiments regarding this administration, the ball is clearly in CONGRESS’S Hands, and they have the absolute power to imprison every last single person involved for the rest of their lives. Considering they refuse to do anything substantial regarding this case is quite telling in and of itself. DOG MEET PONY

Just to be fair, is it very likely that any of the Mexican gangsters who used these walked guns would have had to do without a gun if there had not been any of this gun walking?

I think it can be taken as a given that if a crook wants a gun badly enough he will get it. Especially those on the level of the Mexican gangs. We don’t want to give Obama a back door to say “ooh, eeeeeeevil guns” right after Issa has shut the front door to it.

So far at least 700 of these weapons were recovered at “crime scenes” that says a lot of bodies. Including two high ranking officials of the mexican government.
