re: #434 Dark_Falcon

Tough to say. Some would have died anyways, and some of the guns would have been trafficked anyways. But the ATF operation made things worse, and it failed to accomplish its mission.

I’m not so sure it was a failure. It raised awareness that our gun laws are fueling gang violence in neighboring countries. It’s a pretty serious problem. We don’t want to be a destabilizing force in the Western Hemisphere.
