This whole operation is the most blatantly evil abuse of power I can recall in my life. No one who is aware of even scant details can believe those who planned and/or oversaw it have an iota of common sense. Joe Blow sitting around a picnic table could easily foresee ugly consequences.
The planners of this operation should be held criminally liable for every resultant death.

If anyone else would have done this "with good intention" they would never get out of jail. The businesses involved kept warning them what would happen and they just blew it off. They should at the very least loose their jobs!

What is blatantly obvious about this entire affair is that it was intended to prove assertions that many guns ending up in cartel hand were originating from American gun dealers. It was a plot by the Obummer administration to further pass gun control laws as a new assault weapon ban. And even though they got caught they initiated a new gun control law that just covers the 4 states here in the southwest. Now gun stores have to file paperwork to the ATF when A gun buyer buys more than one gun. Because they want to ban all handguns and assault rifles if they can. They want it to be here in America the same way it is in Mexico, where only the law and criminals have guns.
