[South Texas:]Border Patrol Finds Bag With Assault Rifles, Ammo in Starr County
KRGV ^ | 07/20/2011

Posted on 07/20/2011 3:46:17 PM PDT by SwinneySwitch

STARR COUNTY - The ATF will be examining the serial numbers on a load of assault rifles discovered near the Rio Grande in Starr County.

Border Patrol agents working near Fronton discovered a large duffel bag hidden in some brush. Inside the bag, agents found six assault rifles, 26 magazines and 360 rounds of ammunition.

The agents turned everything over to the ATF. The ATF will now look for serial numbers on the weapons to try and track where they came from.

Authorities have not made any arrests.

They’re going to investigate themselves?

The ATF won’t have to go far. Just check Holder’s office and I’m sure they’ll find the purchase receipts.

Plan enhancement:

1. The straw buyer can be a gov’t agent
2. The **salesman** can be a gov’t agent
3. The **guy behind the gun counter reg** can be a gov’t agent
4. The smuggler can be a gov’t agent
5. The Mexican end-users can be gov’t agents
6. The Honduran end-users can be gov’t agents
7. The people they murder will be gov’t agents (as before)
8. The presstitutes who then report on the tragedy will be gov’t agents

THIS WOULD BE GREAT...!! VERY EFFECTIVE..!

“The ATF will now look for serial numbers on the weapons to try and track where they came from.”

Ah-ha! So that is the elusive 2nd step in the ATF underpants-gnome Gunwalker scheme. We can now see clearly how this operation would work:

1. Sell assault rifles to Mexican Drug cartels.

2. ????? = (Wait for criminals to forget a duffel bag full of weapons and hope someone finds them and reports them)

3. Track where the weapons came from and make arrests.

“Plan enhancement:”

Brilliant! I just realized, though, that if government agents just take over the entire criminal underworld, then they could easily arrest themselves and put a stop to crime completely! I think I better email this plan to the DOJ so that Holder et al can get working on it right away.

Ha, could be a forgetful prepper, I didn’t think of that. I wonder though, if the ATF checks the serial numbers and finds that they are legally owned by a Texan who just misplaced them, will they actually return them?

When is the DEA going to provide meth and coke to the drug cartels so they can trace it to the big bosses?
