An F.B.I. agent in El Paso has been arrested and charged with dealing guns, some of which ended up being used in gunfights between the authorities and drug dealers in Mexico, law enforcement officials said. The agent, John T. Shipley, was indicted Wednesday on charges he dealt firearms without a license for more than two years, buying the weapons from dealers on the Internet and then reselling them to unidentified buyers. Mr. Shipley sold more than 50 weapons, the indictment said. Some were recovered after shootouts between the Mexican Army and drug dealers in Chihuahua on March 8 last year that left seven dead, officials said. Mr. Shipley, who was released on bond this week, has been suspended without pay since March 2009, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said.

Constitution does not say anything about selling your guns.
He is protected by the 9th Amendment. SELL ON!!!!

Sounds like the guy should have been working for the ATF

At least now we know who's been supplying all the illegal weapons to the drug cartels - The Full Blown Idiots.

And ATF is going door to door looking to see if people still have the guns they purchased when all they really have to do is look in DOJ.

I guess they are trying to pad the stats that 90% of all guns from Mexico are traced back to the US... It's funny, though, in every picture I see of a bust, they have rocket propelled grenades, full auto rifles, and hand grenades - I *must* be shopping at all the wrong stores!

Let us know if you find the right stores.

And most of the public eats this nonsense right up. To me, that is by far the most disturbing aspect of this whole mess. The government can do anything they want if the people go along with it. People simply need to learn how to think for themselves and stop believing every thing they here from the media.

It is much easier to believe what one is told than it is to search for the truth.
