78,000 firearms have been confiscated in Mexico that came from the US. Half of the top sources of these smuggled guns were acting at the behest of the ATF. In fact, the top 5 gun stores that were the source of these firearms accounted for 1102 firearms. The ATF, during Operation Fast and Furious, is known to have been responsible for more than twice that number.
Mexico has filed a $10 billion lawsuit against American gunmakers, as well as accusing five Arizona gun shops of selling guns that crossed the border and were used in crimes. The problem here is that most of those guns were knowingly sold to drug cartels because the ATF told them to do so.
Uriel Patiño was notorious for being the top straw purchaser in the Fast and Furious debacle, purchasing 700 guns under ATF’s watch. Our government is trying to make this happen, which was the entire point of Fast and Furious- to make the gun problem on the border so newsworthy that they would get more power and more budget money.
It is obvious that the bureaucracy is running the government, and the politicians are merely grifters who are under their complete control.

Our government is evil-and the people in government are psychopathic satanists. Why sue the gun manufacturers? Deep pockets? Sue the US government. And get your damned cartels under control.

Biden is an idiot – so there’s that. Inflation isn’t a problem for our “government” – it’s a feature which has been in place as far back as I can remember.
The thing that is absolutely ridiculous is the refusal to accept a fifty dollar bill at many retail locations. And I refer to rampant inflation when making that statement. The workers are apparently too lazy to grab the marker to swipe the paper.

Of course it is evil. Anyone that had any common sense would say hey we got a lot of weapons that were bought in the USA being used both sides of the border. Mostly North side though as it’s passed though straw purchases and handlers so that US mfg stuff shows up to be passed on to your latest psycos or red flags. I remember showing this operation off at one point in time with some shall we say leftists that were not aware of it. Even with showing them the fact Holder and ilk were breaking the law, they still maintined that no the .gov just does this because these machine guns exist which is all the more reason for them to be banned!
What in the wide world of sports…

Several thoughts come to mind. The 78K of guns represent what % of guns confiscated and what % of the 78K came from their military and police that bought US weapons and “lost” them to the cartels.
