ATF allowing guns into Mexico
It’s budget time. We’ve been hearing about it for a while. But, via Alan, this is the first mention of it in the US press that I have seen:
A U.S. senator is examining a claim that two guns sold in purchases sanctioned by federal firearms agents were later used in a December shootout that left a Border Patrol agent dead near the Arizona-Mexico border.
Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa said in a letter provided Monday to The Associated Press he had received information that appears to partially corroborate the claim received by members of the Senate Judiciary Committee about the guns.
This could get interesting.

I was scheduled to do a set of campaign photographs for a local guy running for sheriff. The ad agency, when telling me about him, mentioned he had worked for the DEA and ATF for 30 years. They thought this was a great thing. I declined the shoot.

The MSM does not want to talk about anything that puts their national gun police in a bad light. ATF, good; NRA, bad. That’s their story. They just have to spin the facts to fit it.
