I seem to recall reading that, during the Bush years, the guns had tracking devices built into the stocks, and that the guns weren’t allowed to cross the Border. Also, this shouldn’t just be about the Border Patrol Agent’s death. How many deaths in Mezzico were caused by this “program?”

According to some sources, as many as 150 Mexican citizens have lost their lives to these weapons.

Secondly, they could not have tracking devices because the sales were directly from stores where the owners were directed by the BATFE to proceed with the sale even though the store owner suspected these were straw purchases.

In other words, the BATFE allowed these sales to go through without being on the premises. There was no chance to arrest these guys or to plant tracking devices in the firearms.

Erik,
I’ve been looking since you posted an hour ago. Read this article;

http://www.newsmax.com/US/Issa-Cummings-gunrunner-ATF/2011/04/21/id/393710

“When the ATF’s Project Gunrunner began in 2005 under the Bush administration, the agency didn’t allow guns to be taken over the border into Mexico.”

Still looking for info on tracking devices in stocks. Know I read that here a few days ago.
