Evil, greedy gun dealer sells multiple guns to straw buyers for Mexican gangs while our heroic law

[TPaine7]

enforcement leaders at the ATF battle heroically to stem the tide.

Or something like that...

According to Mr. Grassley, ATF supervisor David Voth told the Arizona gun dealer in an April 2010 email he understood his concerns considering the “frequency with which some individuals under investigation by our office have been purchasing firearms from your business.” But he said ATF was “continually monitoring these suspects using a variety of investigative techniques which I cannot go into {in} detail.”

In June 2010, he said the dealer again expressed concern, saying he “wanted to make sure” that none of the firearms he sold at the ATF’s direction “could or would ever end up south of the border or in the hands of the bad guys. … I want to help ATF with its investigation but not at the risk of agents’ safety because I have some very close friends that are U.S. Border Patrol agents in southern AZ.”

“So, not only were the ATF agents who later blew the whistle predicting that this operation would end in tragedy, so were the gun dealers — even as ATF urged them to make the sales,” Mr. Grassley said. “The Justice Department’s claim that ATF never knowingly sanctioned or allowed the sale of assault weapons to straw purchasers is simply not credible.”

1. Okay. Great. We can stop the whole discussion about illegal gun sales

to Mexicans now. Problem solved. :sarcasm:

2. On the plus side, the ATF nudged the 90% claim closer to the truth--

especially if you count the RPGs and machine guns another branch of government supplied the gangs (at least that other channeling was probably innocent and unintentional).

3. You're getting this all wrong

It's the assault style bling the gun makers are marketing into these assault weapons as the latest greated killing machines with super duper lethality.

:sarcasm: just incase anyone couldn't tell
