In Watergate, Deep Throat said “follow the money.” To understand Fast and Furious, I think you need to follow the regulatory process. On December 17th, 2010, the ATF put out for comment ATF Form 3310.12, Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles. the basis for the form, as with all regulations deals with an agenda that is validated by the necessary empirical data to justify the change. How and when gun walking started might not be as important as when it was ramped up to develop information. The only stat tracked was when guns showed up at crime scenes in Mexico. If you look at the explanation for the proposed ATF form, it reads: “Mexican law enforcement officials have reported that certain types of rifles are regularly being used to commit violent crimes in Mexico…Successful trace data from recovered rifles confirm that the United States is a significant source of these rifles by FFLs in the southwest border states, and that many have been sold by FFLs. By requiring the reporting of multiple sales of the specified rifles, this proposal would provide significant investigative leads to law.” I would suggest that the “successful trace data” is the 200 deaths from Fast and Furious guns in Mexico. I must conclude that the creators of this tragic program were willing to accept collateral damage for the purpose of simply generating the information necessary for the making of rules and the promotion of a political agenda.
