Murder, illegal drugs, and the desire to validate some highly dubious statistics. "Ninety percent of all the guns that the Mexican gangsters have come from America!"
And the people said, "Bunk!"
And the government said, "Oh, yeah? We'll show you!"
And so they "threw down" 2000 guns on the Mexican side.
And then they said, "There! Yasee? What did we tell you? Now give up those guns!"
And somewhere in the process, a good man, just doing his duty, died in the line of that duty.

The US Justice Department said it would not prosecute Attorney
General Eric Holder over his refusal to hand over documents on a botched
gun-running operation to Congress, even after the House of
Representatives held him in contempt.
In a letter to House Speaker John Boehner, Deputy Attorney General
James Cole said the Justice Department had “determined that the attorney
general’s response to the subpoena issued by the Committee on Oversight
and Government Reform does not constitute a crime.”
“Therefore the department will not bring the congressional contempt
citation before a grand jury or take any other action to prosecute the
attorney general,” Cole wrote.
Justifying
his refusal, Cole cited a “longstanding position” of the Justice
Department not to prosecute officials for withholding documents
“pursuant to a presidential assertion of executive privilege.”
Cole reminded Boehner that former Republican presidents Ronald Reagan
and George W. Bush had asserted the same privilege in their dealings
with Congress.
The refusal came after US lawmakers on Thursday took the historic and
controversial step of holding Holder in contempt over the gun-tracking
operation known as Fast and Furious.

In all, 100 assault weapons acquired under Fast and Furious were transported 350 miles from Phoenix to El Paso, making that West Texas city a central hub for gun traffickers. Forty of the weapons made it across the border and into the arsenal of Jose Antonio Torres Marrufo, a feared cartel leader in Ciudad Juarez, according to federal court records and trace documents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
