This information is HUGE. I'd never seen your blog before today, but I've bookmarked you and, believe me, I'll be checking in here from now on!<br /><br />There is a timeline that is, believe it or not, EVEN more detailed and comprehensive than the excellent one you've provided here. I strongly recommend it to you and all your readers. It will make your jaw drop -- repeatedly.<br /><br />http://www.handgunclub.com/hca/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Project-Gunrunner-timelines.pdf<br /><br />I thought nothing could shock me anymore from the Marxists who have taken over our government. I was wrong.<br /><br />We need to all be in steady prayer for Congressman Issa and Senator Grassley and their committees, who are investigating all this. I am sure they must be under intense spiritual and political assault right now. Pray that they do not delay or desist in getting to the very bottom of this -- even if that means going to the very top levels of government. May God strengthen them day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517027350402344416.post-4055354557528015012011-06-20T14:50:58.245-07:002011-06-20T14:50:58.245-07:00urbanabanana,

Nowhere does the report say that 90% of crime guns in Mexico originate from the US. That was a lie concocted to push an agenda. Therefore your claim has no merit.Gunalizerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15419172975023883038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517027350402344416.post-2330433182540815852011-06-19T13:59:10.456-07:002011-06-19T13:59:10.456-07:00urbanabanana - Thanks for the info, I have placed ...urbanabanana - Thanks for the info, I have placed it into the timeline.<br /><br />While BATFE has done many stupid things in the past, I don't believe that prior to this "operation" they ever let guns "walk". I believe the agents who testified. I also believe that if this was ATF "SOP", agents would have come forward prior to this.<br /><br />In addition, it is clear that this operation was not a "sting". There was no way to arrest anyone in Mexico. They new that there was no way to arrest the "big fish". As one agent put it, "there is not one rookie police officer who could not tell you this was not going to work."<br /><br />What was the purpose? Well, imagine that these agents kept their mouths shut. What do you have then? Answer: You have A US Federal Agent, killed by a cartel member using a gun bought legally from a US dealer and smuggled across the boarder. This could then be used by the administration to push for more gun control.<br /><br />I am not saying they knew that Agent Terry would be killed - but they knew that if they pumped weapons across the boarder something like this would happen - and they could then use it to reach their goal. As one ATF exec said, "you have to be willing to break some eggs".<br /><br />Another angle on this story is the fact that gun dealers had to be ordered to sell guns to these criminals AFTER THEY CALLED THE ATF. So much for gun dealers being the problem. These cartels need thousands of guns, to arm what are effectively armies. It cannot be done by buying a gun here and there and smuggling them across the boarder. If you buy a large number of guns, you get reported to ATF, if you buy guns in ones or twos you can't get the numbers you need - and even then the dealer may report you because you fit the profile. It's just a whole lot easier to buy guns by the truckload from Central America, or China, N. Korea, - or corrupt members of the Mexican military and police. Many of these guns do trace back to the US - but they were originally sold to foreign militaries. ATF figures DO NOT differentiate between these guns and those sold through US retail channels - but one indicator is the average age of the weapons: 14 years. This makes it clear that very few of these guns are bought in US gun shops and sent directly to Mexico. The average age is a very good indicator that most of the US guns recovered in Mexico are coming from foreign sources. <br /><br />Just my $ .02 worth.Vince Wardehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422536411591526055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517027350402344416.post-36515003974564033262011-06-19T13:56:43.436-07:002011-06-19T13:56:43.436-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Vince Wardehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422536411591526055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517027350402344416.post-57092039623756831832011-06-18T11:20:45.883-07:002011-06-18T11:20:45.883-07:00So will you be adding to the timeline the fact tha...So will you be adding to the timeline the fact that the report came out in Feb of 2008?urbanabananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01582735788082620566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517027350402344416.post-27924987725727474182011-06-18T11:19:06.361-07:002011-06-18T11:19:06.361-07:00Let me be clear, there is no doubt that the BATF d...Let me be clear, there is no doubt that the BATF did a sting that was stupid, dangerous and unethical, and it backfired.

The Mexican government is ...Well let's see....<br /><br />The Mexican government is complaining about guns going south - so they have strong motive to submit every gun that might be from the US for tracing.<br /><br />The ATF needs to justify it's existence, and it's budget - so they want to trace as many guns as possible.<br /><br />The Administration wants to justify new gun laws, so they want to trace as many guns as possible.<br /><br />I think that equals everyone involved in the tracing process - so yes, it is logical to assume that the vast majority of untraced guns are not coming from US retail channels.<br /><br />Furthermore, many weapons recovered in Mexico have no serial numbers - every firearm made or imported into the US since 1969 must have a serial number. No serial number means not from the US.<br /><br />In any case, one has to ask the question: Why are sweeping claims about the percentage of all guns used in crimes in Mexico made based on a small, and probably skewed sample?Vince Wardehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422536411591526055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517027350402344416.post-56066067681910344912011-05-27T23:48:02.558-07:002011-05-27T23:48:02.558-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Vince Wardehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422536411591526055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517027350402344416.post-76413282491010307972011-05-27T21:36:06.788-07:002011-05-27T21:36:06.788-07:00"HOWEVER: ONLY ABOUT ONE IN FIVE GUNS RECOVER..."HOWEVER: ONLY ABOUT ONE IN FIVE GUNS RECOVERED IN MEXICO IS SUBMITTED FOR TRACING.
