Classic technique of a government who abuses it's powers and wants to take away rights of it's people. Supply guns to criminals, then when criminals use the guns to commit crimes blame the guns and use this as an excuse to push gun control legislation, which only takes guns from law abiding citizens. Our government at work. How many times have we heard Hillary talking about doing something to prevent U.S. guns from entering Mexico? Well at least now we know of one way they're getting there.

The BATF told these stores to sell to straw purchasers so they could track them to main criminal element in Mexico. Now they will use this as an excuse to shut down the gun dealers.Big brother has no shame and the ends justify the means.

@unite4peaceonearth Yes, most likely. They have been pushing the "90% of Cartel guns come from the US" propaganda on corporate media. There is a compilation video of those speeches on youtube & include Obama, Homeland Security officials & others.

@999Atwood I think this is so they can say that guns coming from the US are the reason for all the killings in Mexico and the border area, so they can get harsher gun control laws into place like they have been trying to do for years. If your wondering about drug trade profits, that would be the CIA's department. They have flown heroin in to the US from Afghanistan for years, to fund their black-ops illegal missions. Thats why the US military protects poppy fields, as seen on the Jeraldo R show.

This is a lot dirtier than it's being presented..."An Intel Operation Gone Wrong" How about tracing who in Washington is profiting from the drug trade themselves.
