Because ATF allowed guns to be smuggled into Mexico and those guns were later used in murders and showed up at crime scenes in US neighborhoods, we clearly need to pass more gun laws.

After 7 killed in attacks: Ramon Almonte, the Guerrero state police chief, said on Monday he will ask the federal congress to make it easier for common citizens to get permits for weapons to defend themselves.

Citizens defying gun laws for self-defense. Maybe the ATF will send them some?

Nemerov: Obama’s ATF: Too Busy Gun Smuggling to Arrest Criminals?

My understanding is that AG Holder claims that he only heard of the gun running operation in the last couple of weeks. You really don’t peruse the news or have someone peruse the news looking for blips about agencies for which you are responsible? You either lie or are a shitty manager. And Grassley sends […]

Holder to appear before house committee today.

Apparently, ATF hoped that letting weapons “walk” onto the street – to see where they’d end up […]

It’s not just our government providing criminals with guns.

Authorities say they were not told about guns being walked into their country. Of course not.
