I guarentee you that the gun-walker program NEVER stopped. It would be one-hundred-percent out of character for Obama to stop a practice when caught. From my observations, he always doubles-down.
The “never stopped” part is most likely true. Remember that early on the ATF acknowledged having ten million $ to run the F&F program with. The 2,000+ guns that we know about would not have put a dent in that. It seems to me that the Fedz were actually making a profit on the gun sales: If they were buying them for the dealers and the dealers were then selling them on the high side of the normal market they might have been making 1,000$ / gun.
No wonder Obamuzzie had money to buy ManpadZ from the Libyas?
