re: #193 wrenchwench

Trying to reduce regular smuggling by allowing some known smugglers to do some known smuggling, hoping to catch more straw buyers by letting their guns go through. Is that it?

That’s when ATF deliberately lets them go. On the other hand we have serial number traceable guns at Mexican crime scenes, no matter how they got there, with or without ATF involvement.

My point is we need not let any guns go, we can enforce the law just by tracing guns that were straw bought anyway. Without ATF “help”. Heck even ATF was terribly divided about this program. Need I say more?
