Both the state Dept are selling Mil-spec guns to the Zetas while trying to Disarm their own citizens. Using our Tax dollars to fund these projects while unemployment skyrockets.


But in other news, the unemployment rate in CO fell to 8.5% as more people LEFT THE STATE to find work.

BATFE needs to be shutdown. absolute bullshit.

If one American citizen is killed by one of these weapons, the "public servants" involved should be treated as traitors. And dealt with accordingly. This country has put to death spies that had done alot less.

Have you been under a rock? Kidding, but really, at least one has been killed already and that's how this scandal broke...

The full detailed story - http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/...in;contentBody

December 14, 2010. The place: a dangerous smuggling route in Arizona not far from the border. A special tactical border squad was on patrol when gunfire broke out and agent Brian Terry was killed.

The assault rifles found at the murder were traced back to a U.S. gun shop. Where they came from and how they got there is a scandal so large, some insiders say it surpasses the shoot-out at Ruby Ridge and the deadly siege at Waco.

In late 2009, ATF was alerted to suspicious buys at seven gun shops in the Phoenix area. Suspicious because the buyers paid cash, sometimes brought in paper bags. And they purchased classic "weapons of choice" used by Mexican drug traffickers - semi-automatic versions of military type rifles and pistols.

Sources tell CBS News several gun shops wanted to stop the questionable sales, but ATF encouraged them to continue.

Jaime Avila was one of the suspicious buyers. ATF put him in its suspect database in January of 2010. For the next year, ATF watched as Avila and other suspects bought huge quantities of weapons supposedly for "personal use." They included 575 AK-47 type semi-automatic rifles.

Then, Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was murdered. The serial numbers on the two assault rifles found at the scene matched two rifles ATF watched Jaime Avila buy in Phoenix nearly a year before. Officials won't answer whether the bullet that killed Terry came from one of those rifles. But the nightmare had come true: "walked" guns turned up at a federal agent's murder.

I think he was referring to the military weapons sold to the Zetas by the State Dept., not the civilian weapons sold to other Mexican gangs by the ATF.

I think the Obama administration is wrong for doing this. I hope that those who did this will be brought to justice.

Ah, touche. But does it really matter if the guns came from gun stores or military warehouses? They facilitated both. There are indications that the straw purchasers were using at least some money given by the US too...

This whole thing has me red in the face. How is this not more of a media focus? Just a minute or two of coverage here and there. 50% of the media coverage should be on this...this is an enormous scandal of epic proportions and seems it may go all the way to the top. And I don't just say that because it involves guns, but because it involves hundreds if not thousands of lives. Maybe only one or two US agents killed with these guns but thousands have been killed in Mexico likely by these guns. And the worst part is they used this to fabricate a story and a path to infringe upon or constitutional rights.

How many cartels have been squashed after they tracked these guns they fed them? None I'm guessing. Leads me to believe they weren't doing it to track the guns at all, but for only one reason...to create outrage on an international scale that would open the door for more gun control in the USA.

If they hadn't been caught, they would have used this to push much worse measures on gun control than simply reporting multiple long gun purchases...which is bad enough they are doing that shit even after they were outed as fabricating the whole thing.

Watergate and Monica Lewinsky ain't got shit on this scandal. Every Capitol Hill hearing regarding this issue should have live news coverage. Every person that stalls, lies, covers up, stonewalls, singed off, turned a blind eye or otherwise allowed this to happen should have criminal charges brought against them. Every agency that stonewalls or covers up one shred of evidence should be cleaned out.

This is BS and you can bet it will get swept under the rug before everyone involved gets outed and not one person will go to jail.

I concur. When They aren't doing stuff like this, they are busy trying to figure out to screw Americans out of the 2nd AMendment rights, or at least totally disregarding them in their departmental pursuit for power.

Let Homeland Security absorb them, then downsize them and cut their budget by half. At least.
