The Mexican 90% myth gets press coverage. Amazing what a little scandal will do.

900 guns headed to Mexico, from Turkey.

US Government is the biggest supplier.

Jay Tea: In most scandals, one can usually grasp just what the motives behind the wrongdoers was. Tom Clancy once quoted the four motives for political defectors as “MICE” — Money, Ideology, Coercion, and Ego. That applies pretty well to political corruption motives, too. But in this case, nothing seems to make any sense. Many, […]

Federal prosecutors allege that Mexican drug gangs plotted attacks on US government buildings to send the US a message.

Bribing the Mexican government: Police have raided the headquarters of German gun maker Heckler & Koch as part of an investigation into illegal gun sales to the Mexican government. It’s like the perfect storm of internet gun fodder: guns, Mexico, because you suck and we hate you.

The Paper of Making Up The Record gets its stupid on about Fast and Furious and concludes with: It’s Congress’s failure to ban sales of assault weapons that is feeding the drug wars. Yes because back in 1995, the drug cartels were killing people with rocks and sticks.

No: Do They Not Care About Dead Mexicans? Holder pleads stupid. Says I know you are but what am I? Also, no: Dems abandoning ship? House committee to get its subpoena on. Congressman Labrador calls for Holder’s resignation. AZ sheriff calls for independent investigation. CBS reporter interviewed by O’Reilly. Now, it’s running ammo.

Ruh roh: The WSJ reports today that federal authorities are now investigating why the U.S. Attorney’s office in Phoenix — the same office that oversaw Fast and Furious — released Jean Baptiste Kingery after he confessed to providing military-style weapons to the now-defunct La Familia Michoacana drug cartel. Kingery, who was arrested and released in […]

ATF sends open letter to firearms dealers telling them to be on the look out for terrorists buying guns. The actual funny part is they tell the dealers to alert ATF to any suspicious activity. You know, like those dealers did when folks were arming Mexican drug gangs and ATF told them to make the […]

ATF gunwalking stuff: Remember that claim that 90% of guns in Mexico are traced to the US parroted by the media, the administration and the anti-gunners (but I repeat myself)? Turns out, the .gov’s own internal documents don’t support that claim: Claims by Mexican and U.S. officials that upwards of 90 percent of illegal recovered […]

USA Today: If the the NRA wasn’t so effective at defending civil rights, the only guns going into Mexico illegally would come from ATF. Or something. I really am flabbergasted at the notion of blaming the NRA since, by some counts, hundreds of people have been killed with guns allowed to walk by ATF. USA […]

Over at Wired, saying the NRA is somehow a player in the Mexican drug war. That’s pretty dumb.

Lots of stuff: Staffer at the White House discussed the operation. Media starts paying attention. ATF intimidating witnesses. Oops: ATF’s Phoenix SAC emailed Gunwalker info to National Security Council You didn’t get this from me ATF’s Phoenix SAC emailed Gunwalker info to National Security Council Mexican Government Kept in The Dark Full of it Four […]

ABC: ATF Director’s ‘Eyes Nearly Popped Out of (His) Head’ When he Learned ATF Might Have Been Selling Guns to FBI in ‘Fast and Furious’ David Hardy on the effect of gunwalker on cooperating FFLs. Fast and Furious and Mexican presidential politics. A misbegotten scheme to boost gun control turns deadly.

Katie Pavlich: U.S. Representatives Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY), Elijah E. Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) will join other members and a leading law enforcement organization for an event Friday, July 15th, 11:00 a.m. at the House Triangle to introduce the “Stop Gun Trafficking and […]

The hits keep coming: Foxnews uses the C word Uh Oh: ‘Fast and Furious’ scandal grows with revelation that Mexican cartel suspects may be paid U.S. informants There’s Still No Evidence That Eric Holder Knew About Operation Fast and Furious. Has the head of ATF blown the cover of agents?

A round up. Pretty much: Obama Sold, Tracked, Same Guns To Cartels He Hoped To Ban Because They Were Tracked From Cartels Remember, under the radar. IBD: The evidence suggests that Agent Terry’s death was financed by the president’s stimulus package with the full knowledge and support of Attorney General Holder. Ouch: This program is […]

43 guns in traffic stop linked to Gunrunner In the stimulus bill, $10M to fund project Gunrunner. No one claims to have known about the project but it got funded and was mentioned in a speech by Holder in 2009. Melson met investigators in secret. Also says higher ups blocked replies to congress. Congressman uses […]

Damning joint staff report on the operation: The Department’s leadership allowed the ATF to implement this flawed strategy, fully aware of what was taking place on the ground. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona encouraged and supported every single facet of Fast and Furious. Main Justice was involved in providing support and […]

Reports CBS news: CBS News has confirmed that ATF Fast and Furious “walked” guns have been linked to the terrorist torture and murder of the brother of a Mexican state attorney general last fall. Two AK-47 variant rifles were found at the scene of a shoot-out with the murder suspects. Sources say the weapons were […]

You know, where Mexican gangs are getting grenades. Turns out, they’re getting them from foreign militaries like South Korea, according to leaked ATF documents.

Yeah, I linked this earlier over ATF head resigning. But this is also notable: Terry was killed last year north of the Mexican border in Arizona after confronting bandits believed to be preying on illegal immigrants. Two weapons found near the scene of the killing were traced to Fast and Furious. “I was flabbergasted. I […]

This idiotorial seems to be saying that it’s OK if ATF let a few guns in because the president of Mexico says the guns are coming from the US any way. Even though we know a lot of the weapons come from the Mexican army and most cannot be traced to the US. It doesn’t […]

US and Mexican groups are going to hold their breath until Barack Obama does somethingtm about gun laws: The first demand being made of Obama is an immediate ban on imports of assault rifles into the United States “because most are (later) sent as contraband to Mexico,” the groups said. Uhm, that’s already done. Sporting […]

Reports Matthew Boyle: Three Project Gunrunner documents Rep. Darrell Issa, California Republican and House Oversight Committee chairman, released on Wednesday show high-ranking Justice Department officials were aware of Operation Fast and Furious and that there was a consistent administration policy that allowed American guns to be “walked” into Mexican drug cartels’ possession.

To threats of a lawsuit by the Mexican government.

Suddenly, it’s like a lot of blogs are paying attention to the issue. Any way, a round up of the ATF shenanigans: A shocking admission: U.S. admits that Mexican cartels get military weaponry from Central America. That, of course, didn’t fit the narrative so they had to make reality fit the narrative. Pattycakes has a […]

Holder questioned in appropriation hearings about ATF smuggling guns into Mexico. He’s not a fan. ATF lets 717 firearms go. Only recovers 123. Mexican politician calls for extradition of agents involved.

Quite a bit going on regarding he Worst Scandal That You Haven’t Heard About. Well, not you. You follow the gun issue. But a lot of folks have not. The Washington Post resorts to stupidity and says that ATF has no choice due weak gun laws. And, I shit you not, blames “the gun lobby”. […]
