Think about this:

Unless the firearm is left at the scene, there is no way to trace a murder to one of the straw-purchased weapons.

To date, I believe the ATF has not revealed how many of the thousands of Fast & Furious firearms have been traced to crime scenes.

If the intent was to gin-up the number of traced weapons left at Mexican crime scenes, there would have to be an agreement that the US Gov’t would provide the financing in exchange for the firearm to be dropped at a crime scene.

Great point. Leaving the murder weapon at the scene seems to be an ongoing phenomenon with Fast & Furious weapons. They are INTENTIONALLY LEFT THERE to bolster the ‘weapons from America’ narrative. You are right and that MUST BE the reason for it.

I thought about it. It isn't at all clear to me why murderers should be expected to honor financing agreements; nor why they would care about advancing the cause of gun control in the US.
