To: Blood of Tyrants

From what I understand the Mexicans have already complained that efforts to track the source of guns they found (that unbeknownst to them were part of F&F) were rebuffed, and no info provided. I’d have to dig to remember where I saw that. I quite frankly think they dumped these guns all over because they love the meme that gun violence is the fault of conservatives and the 2nd amendment. There is something very wrong with the whole picture, not just incompetence or idiocy.

Gunwalker: Smoking Gun Email?

An internal ATF email seems to support the assertion that Fast and Furious was a PR stunt for gun control.

PJM’s Bob Owens has long speculated that the primary reason for Operation Fast and Furious was to perpetuate the lie that 90 percent of illegal firearms in Mexico were from the United States.

Owens’ assertion was buoyed on Wednesday by internal ATF emails obtained by Townhall.com. One email reads:

"Can you see if these guns were all purchased from the same FfL and at one time. We are looking at anecdotal cases to support a demand letter on long gun multiple sales. Thanks Mark R. Chait Assistant Director Field Operations."
