1800 Dead Bodies Linked to Missing Guns?

It sounds like a new Fox or National Geographic TV Special “GunWalker” ATF or ICE or FBI or Texas or Arizona Ranger type guy walks around with big guns draped everywhere. Or maybe a new sequel in the “Dirty Harry” Franchise. (If it were possible to replace Clint Eastwood…very doubtful). Unfortunately “Gun Walker” is not a TV Show. It’s a now aborted operation sanctioned by the Justice Department to allow guns to be sold in the United States then transported into Mexico where they would be traced back when they were used to commit a crime. Now, exactly what good this was supposed to do or what would happen when they were found at a crime scene, no one seems to be forthcoming with explanations. The Mexican Authorities were not co-operating on this endeavor, officialy named “Fast and Furious”, first off because they were not aware of it. When they found out they fastly became very furious. They felt they had been gamed and also it feels good to blame someone else for the disaster that is going on in Mexico today.
Some walking guns were traced back to crimes. One was to the murder of ICE agent Jaime Zapata.
Here is an interview with Jaime Zapata’s parents who live in Brownsville, Texas. They were interviewd by Univision.
Here is the transcript in English>>
