ATF and guns in Mexico
It’s like a daily feature.
Tam: ATF has announced a plan to cut down on gun smuggling to Mexico. I guess going cold turkey would be too hard.
David Hardy: Did Fast & Furious violate the Arms Export Control Act?
Issa and Grassley’s letter to holder. Interesting. Makes clear the Melson likely isn’t the fall guy.
New rules: The new regulations will require ATF bureaucrats in four border states, California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, to file new reports with themselves each time they illegally send more than 2 high-powered, semi-automatic rifles across the border within a 5 day period. Heh.
Michael Bane: The amazing thing to me is that the administration is sticking to its narrative, e.g. the “Iron River” of guns flowing into into Mexico, even though the “Fast and Furious” Congressional investigation and subsequent revelations have proven conclusively that they only Iron River flowing into Mexico is the one being run by the U.S. government.

Well, they told us 15 years ago that the passage of NAFTA would generate increased US – Mexican trade.
For once, Al Gore was correct.
