"Members of the Judiciary Committee have received numerous allegations that the ATF sanctioned the sale of hundreds of assault weapons to suspected straw purchasers, who then allegedly transported these weapons throughout the southwestern border area and into Mexico," the senator wrote to acting ATF Director Kenneth Melson.
If this is true, it is very disturbing how far the government will go to trump up their phoney "stats" about US guns in Mexico. If true, someone high up in BATF&E needs to see some prison time.
Politically, if true, this could be the "smoking gun" that makes our case against BATF&E and the Brady Bunch, that much stronger.
