Dear Conservatives,

It has been described by the Washington Times as “a risky strategy to allow weapons to be placed in what Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents call the ‘Iron River’ of guns flowing south into Mexico.”

The misguided “Fast and Furious” operation, where the ATF  intentionally put thousands of guns in the hands of Mexican criminals, ended when two of the more than 2,500 weapons turned up at the site of dead U.S. federal law enforcement officer.  Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in a firefight with Mexican bandits who used weapons purchased for them by U.S. taxpayers.
