Even with the ATF practically hand-delivering assault rifles and FN handguns to Mexican drug lords, the U.S. government hysteria about the so-called “Iron River” of guns smuggled from Bob’s Gun Store to the Sinola Cartel is, was and will be nothing but a smokescreen.
Brownsville (TX) Herald: "Mexico probes U.S. weapons operation."
Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office said Friday that it has begun investigations to determine if the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives could be subject to legal action for operation "Fast and Furious" that allowed the illegal entry of weapons into Mexico without its knowledge.
If there is legal recourse, Jorge Alberto Lara Rivera, a deputy assistant attorney general, said action would be pursued in Mexico and that there would be sanctions.
. . . Phil Jordan, the former U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent-in charge of the Dallas office, who also is a former director of the El Paso Intelligence Center, weighed in, noting that, "cover-ups on flawed operations only enhance the power of the bad guys."
"With Mexico fighting a real drug war, ATF or any other federal U.S. agency should NEVER allow weapons to knowingly be smuggled into Mexico; never in Spanish means NUNCA. These types of programs give Washington a black eye, and violate Mexico’s sovereignty."

From the Oregon Firearms Federation: Gunwalker in OREGON?
We have also received multiple, credible reports that Oregon dealers are being pressured by ATF to make highly irregular and suspicious gun sales. It would appear to be Oregon's very own "Gunwalker" scandal.
The Oregon State Police are aware of these operations and have chosen to take a "hands off" approach.
If you are a dealer who has been pressured by ATF or the OSP into making transactions you consider suspicious, and are willing to share your experiences, please contact us. Rest assured your privacy will be protected.
