SIERRA VISTA — The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is stepping up its effort to stop the flow of illegal guns flowing into Mexico and into the hands of drug cartels. The agency is setting up specialized teams along known trafficking hubs and routes, including Sierra Vista.
Project Gunrunner will establish teams in seven U.S. cities: Atlanta, Dallas, Brownsville, Texas, Las Vegas, Miami, Oklahoma City and Sierra Vista.

And you wonder why the ATF is here? Only a fool (windsor) couldn’t figure it
out!
and nothing that you claim is supported in that article. Try again. I think
you really should look in the mirror before you start calling people fools.
You are the one living in fantasy land, making up accusations. I do hope to
come here one day and see the article about how local gun sellers are suing
you for libel. Now, that would be interesting.
I don’t get why the herald allows you to continue. Everyone here knows you
lie and lie and lie about all sorts of things, its expected from you. For you
to use their website to accuse people in the community of felony crimes,
however, is beyond the pale. I understand the standard about politicians
being public figures exempt from libel, that’s fine, but these aren’t
politicians. These are people and legal businesses in the community the same
people the herald supposedly serves. Legally, you cant start a website and
just start lying about people without any legal liability. I realize you will
never apologize for anything because you are so filled with fuming hatred for
anyone who disagrees with you, but free speech doesn’t include maliciously
falsely accusing people and business of committing a felony.
There are other agencies in town looking into the illegal sale of weapons…
Several of the weapons seized were traced back to good ole Sierra Vista.
You are truely something else… get it through your thick skull buddy, the
ATF is HERE in Sierra Vista to go after local gun dealers. …Your statement
has absolutely no logic. Why would the ATF come to Sierra Vista to
investigate straw purchases in Phoenix and Tucson. Please use your head. You
are looking dumber with each post you make. Good job to the ATF for finally
coming here. Hopefully we will see another story about the arrests! In case
you didn’t know, many of the guns seized in Mexico have links directly to
Sierra Vista. The truth hurts, but for you the truth stings…
you explain stuff, you post links so the person can learn and still it flies
over their head. Go look up what trafficking routes are for starters. Second,
SHOW everyone where it says that Sierra Vista Gun Dealers are involved (HELLO
SV gun dealers—I would be getting your lawyers NOW). Third, If what you say
is the truth, by all means, show us. I looked at the sites and the ATF says
there, crystal clear, where the busts have been made. “Many of the guns
seized in Mexico have links to SV?: ROFL…again, out of the mouth of someone
who has no proof.
“including AK-47-style rifles”
I wonder what an AK-47 style rifle looks like?
Perhaps like the very popular AR-15 rifle that was the inspriation for the
M-16, however the AR is not automatic, and the AK-47 and the M-16 are
automatic wepons. I’ll bet the authors of this story think any gun with a
bannana clip is an AK-47 rifle, which by the way is a Russia/Chinese piece of
junk.

All I know is that my assault rifle is not illegal. It’s just undocumented.
:p
But it pays Social Security Tax doesn’t it?
So now our local gun dealers are really criminals and IM4Truth knows this.
Interesting to say the least. Maybe you should let the SV Police know this,
or did you just make that up?? RightOn, you are right on the money. it is the
old deny and redirect tactic used by most of our elected “leaders.” Remember,
when they outlaw guns only outlaws will have them.
