DEA accidentally finds guns from ATF "gunwalker"



CBS News has learned that the DEA has confiscated a stash of assault rifles connected to ATF's Fast and Furious operation. It's a major seizure of weapons in the controversial ATF case that's the subject of at least two investigations. Sources say it's believed the suspects intended to take the guns to Mexico.

Sources say DEA accidentally came upon the guns while stopping suspects in an unrelated case in the Phoenix area on April 13th. When agents stopped at least two suspects, they found two giant garbage cans full of dozens of AK-47 type weapons wrapped in cellophane. Sources tell CBS News that a trace on the first weapon showed it was purchased in Nov. 2009 by a suspect in ATF's Fast and Furious case.

Insiders allege that ATF allowed more than 2,500 weapons purchased by suspects to "walk," or hit the streets. The current seizure underscores the fact that most of those weapons are still on the street and unaccounted for.

Both Republicans and Democrats and EVERY American needs to be upset by this fiasco. How many people will these weapons injure or kill?

1. But..., but..., but..., guns are good.

People need these to defend themselves against other people that have guns.

3. One of the prime missions of the ATF is to try to stop gun runners ...

and people who "straw purchase" weapons for criminals.

If they do a good job, we may have less demand for firearms for self defense. It's hard to describe Project "Gunwalker" as an example of how the ATF should function.
