BATFE under fire (allowed illegal sales to Straw Purchasers)

[Drumstix61]

blood is boiling, ladies and germs,


.

The ATF Section Heads in NM and AZ,

specifically gave MANY FFL Dealers permission to, "keep selling weapons to Illegal Straw Purchaser's,...that they may Track them".

for several years,

ending up Across the Border in Mexico, (over 50,000 weapons!!!)...and they could have prevented it...when their Job is to STOP it in the 1st place.... ???!!

A USA Border Guard was killed with one of the weapons recently.
Google for CBP Agent Brian Terry

The BATFE has been called on this. By the .GOV

Hearings are already underway.

This is dirty,and going to get a lot more so.

Allegations have arisen of BATFE's compounded interest in maintaining Job Levels,as well as maintaining Federal Funding. (for an "obviously" un-necessary .gov Agency)

Funny thing is that ATF has a bunch of new jobs listed in that area, as all that came forward on this,or helped the Commitee by testifying or opting out, are Retired.

I'm going to P.M. Gat6 and invoke his wrath

Hey, just in time for the new Head Cheese to deny knowing this was happening before him and allow it to be swept under the rug.

The only thing that surprises me is that the ATF is taking any heat for this at all.

I really think it's because of the dead BP agent. Dead feds get attention that thousands of dead peons don't.

It looks a lot like there's someone really pissed off inside ATF who's feeding Grassley info and pointing out the vulnerable places to poke.

ATF not only allowed it they encouraged it. Just another Obama plan to say guns come from the U.S. into Mexico,only this time he/they got caught. But still ATF and the Obama administration will get a free pass on this. If we don't stick together in 2012 he will get another 4 years to mishandle everything he does. He is the most unqualified person to ever be president.

you're spot on about sticking together in 2012,,,If he gets another term he will absolutley get at least one more Supreme court pick and the narrow majority we enjoy now could be gone along with a lot of Pro Gun Legislation that we have all busted our butts to get over the years...NoBama 2012!!
