The program was intended to investigate gun trafficking into Mexico by clandestinely making weapons available for purchase along the border, then tracking the buyers.
This is a grotesque lie. The Fast and Furious program provided US taxpayer monies to drug gangs to buy assault rifles, AFT agents were ordered not to interfere with the purchases, not to intercept the guns, and there were NO EFFORTS MADE TO ALERT THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT OR EVER TRACK THESE GUNS. These guns have been used to murder thousands and could be easily considered an act of war against both Mexico and America!
