“How do you “lose track” when you are ordered to “allow them to “walk”?” “
You don’t - because that was never the goal. The gun-grabbers have long contended that “90% of the guns in Mexico come from the US” or some such bilge. What better way to prove such an absurd* allegation than to actually make it come true yourself, and to thereby have a tool to use to control guns.
This was not only a horrific crime that resulted in hundreds of innocents being murdered (so far), not only breaking US law (unless Hillary’s State Dept. OK’d the export of the guns in question, an interesting topic all by itself), but it was a conspiracy directed from the very top (YES, Obama) to further erode/destroy the 2nd Amendment. It is also an act of war upon Mexico. Obama should be impeached for this, and Holder and his fellow conspirators tossed in jail for a lot longer than Liddy, et al were for Watergate - at least with Watergate, no one was murdered.
* “absurd” because no self-respecting drug lord is going to send people across a (semi-) guarded border to buy semi-automatic weapons at $600-$1,000 per, when they can have all that they want of FULL auto guns from any number of sources around the world for $100-$200 each.
I know. It was a rhetorical question. :-)
