"Yea, that's why the Mexican cartels are totally not sourcing the majority of their weapons from south america! oh wait... "
No your correct, this is courtesy of Operation Fast and Furious, an operation put in use by our own BATFE! And the effects are devastating!
They were attempting to track where the illegal weapons were going, and let them go over the border...guess what they were never recovered and people died! It was a result of what's calmed "straw sales" where a person without legal means of purchasing a firearm, finds a "patsy" and gives then money to buy the guns for them, it is very illegal. And yet the ATF let these guns go south so they could find the cartel bosses.
It's a huge debacle and a senate committee is investigating and has issued subpoenas and arrest warrants for those agents involved as well as Eric Holder!
Government corruption is one thing, but it's stupidity is another.
