Thousands of high-powered firearms and other military grade weapons were shipped from the United States to Mexican drug cartels – with the support of federal agents during the Obama administration.
Those weapons have been responsible for hundreds of deaths on both sides of the border, including Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry, whose murder in December 2010 in the Arizona desert led to public exposure of this bizarre government operation.
But most Americans still have a limited knowledge of the Fast and Furious gunrunning operation, or other related programs which targeted U.S. gun dealers – while helping cartels gain enormous power.
