Biggest political scandal in our lifetime: Project Fast & Furious Gunwalker/Gunrunner
Write your congressman, write your senator, write your local newspaper and news channel.
Do not let them sweep this under the rug.
Very simply, the ATF ordered agents to stand down and have weapons go across the border into that fucking shit hole called Mexico. Those same guns came back across the border and killed American Border Patrol agent Brian Wells, and lord knows how many other Americans.
Every time you hear some shit stain politician complain about American guns in Mexico, you remember, and remind them that the USA DOJ and ATF are intentionally arming cartels and illegals for the sole purpose of shitting on American constitutional rights. They arm our enemies as ammunition to disarm us.
Thankfully there was a whistle-blower, but imagine if there wasn't. The ATF and Hillary Clinton would have been all over the news saying that Brian Wells was killed because of a Straw Purchase, or Gun Show loophole.

A fine example of the ATF's handy work: http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/ATF-guns-fastandfurious/2011/07/01/id/402216In the fall of 2009, the Department of Justice (DOJ) developed a risky new strategy to
combat gun trafficking along the Southwest Border. The new strategy directed federal law
enforcement to shift its focus away from seizing firearms from criminals as soon as possible—
and to focus instead on identifying members of trafficking networks. The Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) implemented that strategy using a reckless
investigative technique that street agents call “gunwalking.” ATF’s Phoenix Field Division
began allowing suspects to walk away with illegally purchased guns. The purpose was to wait
and watch, in the hope that law enforcement could identify other members of a trafficking
network and build a large, complex conspiracy case.
This shift in strategy was known and authorized at the highest levels of the Justice
Department. Through both the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Arizona and “Main Justice,”
headquarters in Washington, D.C., the Department closely monitored and supervised the
activities of the ATF. The Phoenix Field Division established a Gun Trafficking group, called
Group VII, to focus on firearms trafficking. Group VII initially began using the new gunwalking
tactics in one of its investigations to further the Department’s strategy. The case was soon
renamed “Operation Fast and Furious,” and expanded dramatically. It received approval for
Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) funding on January 26, 2010. ATF
led a strike force comprised of agents from ATF, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA),
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The operation’s goal was to establish a nexus between straw
purchasers of assault-style weapons in the United States and Mexican drug-trafficking
organizations (DTOs) operating on both sides of the United States-Mexico border. Straw
purchasers are individuals who are legally entitled to purchase firearms for themselves, but who
unlawfully purchase weapons with the intent to transfer them into the hands of DTOs or other
criminals.
Weapons linked to the federal government’s controversial “Fast and Furious” gun-running sting have turned up at four crime scenes in Arizona in the communities of Glendale and Phoenix. The four guns are connected to drug cases in Phoenix and Glendale, Phoenix television station ABC 15 reported.
“Fast and Furious” backfired with deadly results, prompting calls for shake-ups at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and in the Justice Department. Under the program, ATF agents allowed weapons to flow across the border in a scheme targeting Mexican drug cartels.
