Is the ATF Running Guns Into Mexico?

That's the allegation, that the ATF is having its snitches buy guns and then smuggle them into Mexico for the drug cartels. That way, when the weapons are eventually confiscated by the Mexican cops, the ATF has something to trace.

Nothing surprises me about the ATF. It's pretty well established that both the Waco and Ruby Ridge messes were grounded in the ineptitude of the ATF, so one could argue that without the ATF's blundering, there would have been no Oke City bombing.
