Good point.
For example: while I realize the media video of seized weapons is not dispositive, has anyone noticed the disproportionate number of AKs, RPGs, and other former Eastern Bloc weapons, now in wide use in the ME, shown on the news?

What are the chances these are battlefield pick-ups brought back by any of numerous government agencies and sent across our Southern border? No, they would not serve to undermine the Second Amendment by suggesting the weapons came directly from the U.S. as the original programs did, but they would aid the Narcos and further destabilize Mexico.

Eastern Bloc weapons in Mexico? The ME? More details... Thanks for sharing.

I don't think it has anything to do with gun control. Gun control works against democrats. That's the last thing dems want brought up in an election year.

Also there were too many agencies involved. Major agencies. The cover reason - 'we want to weaken the 2nd' wouldn't fly with the groups involved... Top people had to be told something... ATF ground level people had no idea about the whats and whys of the program. That's odd.

Someone benefited. Or was going to... Someone with power. This is not a minor effort. Was there profit with cash? Political power? "You scratch my back... " Could be anything. The MSM media ( the unthinking parts) are all to ready to agree it was done for 'gun control'.. This could get interesting.
