Several members of Congress are calling for an investigation into an embarrassing series of blunders made by the Milwaukee arm of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives after a newspaper reported this week that the agency conducted a months-long undercover operation that cost taxpayers thousands of dollars and netted very few results….The newspaper claims that the agency conducted a deeply flawed sting operation that resulted in a still-missing machine gun being taken from an agent’s car, thousands of taxpayer dollars being lost in merchandise and angry residents saying that ATF officials reintroduced crime into their neighborhood. The operation comes on the heels of the botched Operation Fast and Furious anti-gun trafficking program.
This is the same agency that will be enforcing “Universal Background Checks” and the registration of so-called “Assault Weapons”. And politicians claim WE’RE the problem!!!!
Good question… sigh
Another good question: Why the hell are they still referring to Fast & Furious as a “botched operation”? It put “assault weapons” in the hands of dangerous criminals, in an attempt to prove the long-alleged link to lawful U.S. gun dealers. It did exactly what it was supposed to do.
The only thing botched was the cover-up.
