US ATF Sending GUNS to Mexico and into the hands of DRUG LORDS

Here is our president's solution to gun violence: Obama called for "sound and effective" steps to prevent lawbreakers from obtaining guns. A system of criminal background checks must be better implemented and made more efficient, he said. We should provide an instant, accurate, comprehensive and consistent system for background checks to (gun) sellers who want to do the right thing, and make sure that criminals can't escape it," he wrote. Keep the guns out of the hands of criminals. Sounds like a plan, right? So why is our government purposely sending legal guns over the border into Mexico and into the hands of the drug cartels? "Federal agent John Dodson says what he was asked to do was beyond belief. He was intentionally letting guns go to Mexico? "Yes ma'am," Dodson told CBS News. "The agency was." An Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms senior agent assigned to the Phoenix office in 2010, Dodson's job is to stop gun trafficking across the border. Instead, he says he was ordered to sit by and watch it happen. Investigators call the tactic letting guns "walk." In this case, walking into the hands of criminals who would use them in Mexico and the United States." http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/03/03/eveningnews/main20039031.shtml One of our border agents was killed with one of these guns.
