The Project Gunrunner Scandal

[PanzerJaeger]

Well this is the rub....either a dept filled with cops is using a time honored cop tactic

OR it's a conspiracy

'Walking' illegal merchandise, such as stolen cars or smuggled prescription drugs from Canada, back to its buyers to catch them is a time honored cop tactic. 'Walking' AK47s to groups that will most certainly use them to kill people is not, and such a strategy was apparently not a part of the Gunrunner effort launched in 2005 until the Obama administration came into power.

As for the conspiracy, at this point that is all it is. It is very interesting that no one in the ATF saw fit to institute this disastrous strategy for the first four years of the program, and only when the new president and his senior level officials began talking about the huge numbers of American guns flowing into Mexico was it decided to dump huge numbers of guns into the country. However, I'm not trying to push a conspiracy with this thread and would prefer the discussion remain fact based. Those facts are damaging enough.
