And the ones not directly on the take are kept in check with the knowledge that anyone within their circle — at the highest levels — could be.
Understand that if the cartels objected to lawsuits against American gun manufacturers, they would make their expectations known loud and clear.

That’s what happens when you’re not sanctioned. Funny, how a little bit of border security works, almost like the lack of it was deliberate.
But as we all know, this isn’t how the cartels gets their “good” stuff.
Shoot, I could’a told ’em that 16 years ago.

Note that last link was from April 2009, nine months before Mike Vanderboegh and I started our Fast and Furious reporting, but worth mentioning because it helps show how we were positioned to use the information we uncovered subsequent to the murder of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry that kicked the whole thing off.
I mention that because of this:
I appreciate the recognition. Most were never told and will never know.
You’ll not find our names here (I’ve been told by those who tried that attempts to add them have been edited out) or in an incentivized media narrative.

Hey, they’re just following the example set by their leadership…
Besides, we all know Mexican “gun violence” is U.S. gun companies’ fault.
Hey, we got us a category.

According to the actual complaint, a Florida gun dealer became suspicious of Delgado after he tried to purchase his fourth Barrett rifle, which can retail for $10,000 or more. As a result, the gun dealer contacted the ATF directly. [More]
If he hadn’t reported suspicions he’d have been treated as a co-conspirator. That, to me, is the greater issue.

Not sure what the connection is, but I can’t help notice Democrats who want OUR guns coming together to keep ICE from deporting Mexican criminals so that stuff like this can become a regular occurrence in a vecindario near you.

She’s right, but for the wrong reasons. If she allowed it, her corrupt government would cease to allow her.
I’m against it for the same reason I’ve consistently been against wars that our representatives have not declared– as required by the Constitution.
Surely, someone has factored in the likelihood of a sufficient percentage of the tens of millions embedded throughout the Republic becoming even more radicalized and adopting assymetric warfare tactics, e.g., “terrorism” wherever unhardened targets present themselves, that is, practically everywhere. Can we see the projections?
If the decision IS war, then anything other than real war will be a betrayal of those we order to put their bodies and their lives on the line on our behalf. And in this case, it would be impossible to “just” target cartels without also going after their stooges at all levels of the Mexican government.
