  2. How many ATF agents have gone to jail for this?
    Answer none, just following orders. So were the Nazis.
    Sending thousands of guns South killing hundreds of Mexicans and some Americans. No chain of custody on any of the weapons.

  3. Bad luck for that Mexican. He could have killed 100 of his countrymen with that gun and faced no consequences.

    OTOH those responsible for Terrys’ and all those other deaths will never be held to account.

    Imagine plotting this caper out!? Let’s funnel 1,000s of weapons ILLEGALLY into the hands of the cartel and then blame the “lax” gun laws here so we can move the ball farther into confiscation territory…mmmK? Cause that’s exactly their reasoning.
