While the ATF was strong-arming gun stores into participating in its crazy scheme to traffic weapons to Mexican drug cartels, it was turning around and illegally leaking the names of those same gun stores to the media as prime sources of guns recovered in Mexico.
The ATF’s betrayal of the gun stores is a petty offense compared to the Gunwalker scandal as a whole, but it does make it that much harder to believe that the operation was conducted in good faith.
