The guns came from regular gun shops. The shop owners contacted ATF about the questionable sales. ATF, in their infinite wisdom, told them to make the sales. Then when trying to follow the guns, the ATF lost them. They are turning up at crime scenes on both sides of the border. This goes at least as high as Holder. He's in charge of the justice dept. and even if he didn't know the details, he at least knew it was going on. The program that Bush started, that spawned this one, no guns were allowed to disappear.

The 70% figure is the number of guns SUBMITTED for trace. Which is only a small portion of the guns actually seized. This number is being touted by Holder and company because he stated early on that he wanted to re-instate the AWB. If he can get the numbers high enough, even if they have to lie, they can try to get a new and improved AWB. Of course the fact that CBP agent Brian Terry and ATF agent Jamie Zapata died is no big deal. Not including the thousands of Mexican citizens that have died. Collateral damage as it were. Why should we care about several thousand dead Mexicans. It just helps the cause.

Melson, the temporary head of ATF knew what was going on. I'm sure he kept his buddy Holder informed. They need to be sharing a prison cell. The only question will be who gets top.
