Project Gunrunner was started in 2008. Its purpose was to stop straw purchases of weapons here in the US that were destined for Mexico. By early 2009 it had accounted for about 1200 arrests. These were accomplished BEFORE those weapons hit the border.
Project Gunrunner should in no way be confused with Operation Fast and Furious or Operation Castaway.
“Gunwalker” is just a term coined by the media and has no basis in reality as the name of a government program or operation.

So you don’t find the implications of the language in paragraphs 5 and 6 of his speech

(as cited by GlockThe Vote’s thread on 7/8) a
clear indication that Gunrunner had been expanded into something like Fast/Furious involving operations both north and south of the border?
