Office of Inspector General Report: ATF Fast and Furious Tactics Continue - Breitbart

The latest report from the Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the U.S. Department of Justice finds that the flawed “gun-tracking operations” associated with Fast and Furious persist and need to be changed.
This conclusion was presented in the report after examining five undercover ATF storefronts in Boston, Milwaukee, Pensacola, St. Louis, and Wichita.

The report says the “ATF failed to devote sufficient attention to how it was managing its undercover storefront operations” and observes that the agency “needs to consolidate its storefront expertise and ensure that it is fully engaged in each operation.”

Pages 91 and 92 of the report showed that the ATF was lax in tracing firearms at these storefronts, but the the lax posture was due to ongoing program orders that need to be changed. The OIG report says:

We determined that ATF’s Firearms Enforcement Program Order, Order 3310.4C, which establishes ATF procedures for tracing firearms, does not require agents to perform traces on firearms taken into ATF’s custody “at the earliest time practicable,” as required in a memorandum issued by the President to all federal law enforcement agencies in January 2013. In addition, ATF’s Storefront Investigations Manual does not specify a time limitation or other 91 expectation concerning when agents should perform traces in storefront operations.

How do you push gun control if you don't flood the streets with illegal guns......? The ATF is just trying to do their part to push gun control.....
 
The ATF needs to be disbanded. A few years ago they were on the chopping block but they survived. Then, they added an "explosives" to the long list of their name and now every time everywhere they are involved. They want to make themselves indispensable. It is time to cut government waste and disband the BATFE. The FBI is fully capable and has been always capable to provide explosives experts.
