ATF AND DOJ PAGE OF MAXIMUM EPIC FAILURE
Here, we will compile links to articles about "Project Fast and Furious" or "Operation Gun Walker", which was, and may continue to be, a series of idiotic and misguided schemes to allow guns to flow into the hands of convicted criminals, drug lords, and other unsavory characters, for the purpose of tracking their use in violent crime.
We suspect that one of the reasons these illegal sales were authorized, and even pushed, by the ATF, under the direction of DOJ, so that they could further complain about guns being sold in America being used in crimes in Mexico. In effect, the ATF and DOJ forced gun dealers to sell guns which would be used in Mexico, so that they could complain about these guns being used in Mexico. Makes sense, right?
We don't think so, either. We can easily speculate that this was another botched gun control scheme, one that had very disastrous results. We don't consider the deaths of border patrol agents, other law-enforcement people, whether in The US or Mexico, or the deaths of Mexican politicians to merely be "some eggs that have to be broken to make an omelet." We consider these to be unlawful acts, the facilitators of which should be punished to the maximum extent of the law, both here in The USA, and in Mexico.
