It was the same modus operandi as in Wide Receiver.

To my understanding it was not. In Wide Receiver the BATFE attempted to track the weapons and the effort proved unreliable. Hence, the program was discontinued. There was no attempt to track the weapons in Gun Walker, indeed, quite the contrary. This was purely a system to arm our enemies while simultaneously "justifying" the Small Arms Treaty wherewith effectively to annul the Second Amendment.

The two are substantially different. Sharyl Akisson's equation of the two is totally without merit.

"It was the same modus operandi as in Wide Receiver. Why would they expect different results this time?"

In Wide Receiver the BATFE attempted to track the weapons and the effort proved unreliable. Hence, the program was discontinued.

You're correct. I meant the net result was the same, i.e. guns walked. I meant that after their experience with Wide Receiver, why would they expect anything different with Fast & Furious?
