U.S. Government Secretly Flooded Mexico With Weapons

This makes me wonder if these guns were really sold just to be tracked.
Maybe they were sold for a much more sinister purpose.
If no whistle-blower had come forward we might have never known about this operation.
Maybe the plan was to sell an enormous amount of American guns to Mexican drug cartels.
The guns would then be used in murders and other crimes.
Then the anti-gun Obama administration and Democrats could trace these guns back to the U.S. and use them as an excuse to pass stricter gun control laws.
(Not that Obama would ever try to deceive anyone..lol!)
