Reply #17: "The ATF tried a sting ..." [View All]

"The ATF tried a sting to help ease guns going to Mexico from America."

No, they really didn't. You can say it as many times as you like, but that will not make it the truth.

ATF made no attempt to interdict the guns.

ATF made no attempt to track the guns.

ATF made no attempt to follow the suspected traffickers to learn who they were dealing with.

ATF actually purchased some guns which they apparently transferred to traffickers.

ATF did not inform Mexican authorities about the traffickers or the guns headed their way.

ATF did not inform their own agents in Mexico about the traffickers or the guns.



How does one attempt a "sting" without those things? Please explain, we're all ears.



Oh, look what The National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers is saying:

We call it a scheme for we will not dignify it by calling it an investigation. Our members have been involved in investigations and this activity was so far removed from acceptable investigative practices that scheme is a more appropriate word for it.
