While this wouldn't have greatly hindered Mexican gangsters from getting guns they intend to commit their crimes with, there's something sickening about America willingly contributing these weapons when it could have refrained or stopped it -- plus interdicting the guns would also have caught a number of runners which were allowed to just waltz back into Old Mehico scot free.
Negligent homicide and high crimes and misdemeanors is what it is.
Now we know another reason that Napalitano/Obama didn’t want our troops on the border.....they knew that Obama was arming the Mexican drug cartels to the teeth with assualt weapons! Our troops might have gotten in the way of Obama arming the marxist revolutionaries and drug cartels in Mexico and South America if they were there in force.

Are you saying that they just gave the guns to the cartels? If they were paid for with taxpayer money, it is possible that certain people set this up also as a way to launder taxpayer money by getting freezers full of cash from the cartels on the downlo.
Arm America’s enemies, blame it on the 2nd Amendment and pass laws to disarm us...all the while making a pretty penny to boot. Heck of a scheme if this is how it played out.
If leftists are telling the truth about the effectiveness of gun control, then those who put guns in the hands of criminals are complicit in murder. If they wish to argue that the criminals would have gotten guns anyway, then they have no basis for hindering law-abiding citizens' efforts to arm themselves. Conservatives need to play up the contradiction here.
I would be curious if the timeline for beginning of the gunwalking corresponds with the timeline of the acceleration in crime by the mexican cartels.... I remember making note to myself a while back that it seemed like they were becoming more brazen, Mexican towns losing law enforcement, stories of mass graves found, beheadings, kidnappings etc..... seems like its been the last two years that it really has gotten way out of control down there.... isn’t that about when gunwalker started?
