Ex-ATF Agent's Firearm Found at Mexican Crime Scene

Post by Flesh Thorn »

How did a gun belonging to a former assistant special agent in charge at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives end up at a crime scene in Mexico where five died, including a Mexican beauty queen ? That's the question being asked by congressional investigators and ATF officials in Phoenix.
A FN Five-Seven semi-automatic pistol, a high powered handgun originally restricted to military and law enforcement customers, was recovered by Mexican police at the scene of a Nov. 23 shootout between the Sinaloa Cartel and the Mexican military.

I just read about this elsewhere. Another really good question to ask was why did the ATF agent violate the law when filling out form 4473?
C Co 3/75 88-90 (Just Cause)
124 MI(LRSD) 90-91 (Desert Storm)

Repeal the 16th, enforce the 10th.

Am I the only one to notice the irony of an administration that sells weapons to Mexican criminals now wants to impose gun control on the rest of us?

The ironies and hypocrisy of this administration have no limit, and the MSM keeps falling all over themselves in adulation.
