Original Note:
Between 2006-2011, the ATF ran Operation Fast and Furious, which allowed illegal straw purchases of firearms (ostensibly to prosecute drug cartels). Numerous guns disappeared in Mexico, no cartel members were prosecuted, and a lost gun was used to murder a Border Patrol agent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATF_gunwalking_scandal
