Merida Initiative
Project Gunrunner(s)

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) ran a series of "gunwalking" sting operations between 2006 and 2011. This was done under the umbrella of Project Gunrunner, a project intended to stem the flow of firearms into Mexico by interdicting straw purchasers and gun traffickers within the United States. "Gunwalking" or "letting guns walk" was a tactic whereby the ATF knowingly allowed thousands of guns to be bought by suspected arms traffickers ("gunrunners") working through straw purchasers on behalf of Mexican drug cartels.

Nice that Darryl Issa - who voted for the Meridia Initiative, and multiple approvals under Project Gunrunner for President Bush - is just now worried about guns that were walked into Mexico and given to drug cartels. How dare the Obama administration stop a Bush-approved ATF project because it was crap.
