Your government at work:
"In a setback for the ATF, recent reports indicate that a program designed to fight gun traffickers may have backfired. Operation Fast and Furious put firearms into the hands of known smugglers in order to track them to cartel leaders, according to numerous reports. Hundreds of those firearms have gone missing, the reports indicate, and several have been linked indirectly to the murder of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, who was killed in a December firefight in Arizona." http://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/148441-nra-calls-for-expedited-hearin gs-on-gun-trafficking I agree that there needs to be hearings and some valid research on this topic. BATF's recent tracking study was seriously flawed. Ray Kessler Prof. of Criminal Justice Sul Ross State Univ.
