Fox News reports<\/a> that the Justice Department is peeing in their collective drawers over the congressional investigation scheduled for next week being billed as “Reckless Decisions, Tragic Outcomes” regarding the “Fast and Furious” Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives operation intended to stem the flow of guns from the US to Mexico but had the opposite effect;<\/p>\n

Mexican officials estimate 150 of their people have been shot by Fast and Furious guns. Police have recovered roughly 700 guns at crime scenes, 250 in the U.S. and the rest in Mexico, including five AK-47s found at a cartel warehouse in Juarez last month. <\/p>\n

A high-powered sniper rifle was used to shoot down a Mexican military helicopter. Two other Romanian-made AK-47s were found in a shoot-out that left 11 dead in the state of Jalisco three weeks ago. <\/p>\n

The guns were traced to the Lone Wolf Gun Store in Glendale, Ariz., and were sold only after the store employees were told to do so by the ATF. <\/p>\n

It is illegal to buy a gun for anyone but yourself. However, ATF’s own documents show it allowed just 15 men to buy 1,725 guns, and 1,318 of those were after the purchasers officially became targets of investigation. <\/p>\n

Arizona gun store owners say they were explicitly told by the ATF to sell the guns, sometimes 20, 30, even up to 40 in a single day to single person. <\/p>\n

And those orders, from at least one ATF case agent, are on audio recording. <\/p>\n

“We would say, ‘Do you (the ATF) want us to stop selling, is there something we should do here?'” Brad DeSayes, owner of J&G Gun Sales in Prescott, said. “And they would say, ‘No, no, no, keep selling – just tell us after the fact.'”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sure, when the real criminal is the gun, who’s to blame?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
