Documents: ATF used "Fast and Furious" to make the case for gun regulations

Documents obtained by CBS News show that the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) discussed using their covert operation "Fast and Furious" to argue for controversial new rules about gun sales.

In Fast and Furious, ATF secretly encouraged gun dealers to sell to suspected traffickers for Mexican drug cartels to go after the "big fish." But ATF whistleblowers told CBS News and Congress it was a dangerous practice called "gunwalking," and it put thousands of weapons on the street. Many were used in violent crimes in Mexico. Two were found at the murder scene of a U.S. Border Patrol agent.

ATF officials didn't intend to publicly disclose their own role in letting Mexican cartels obtain the weapons, but emails show they discussed using the sales, including sales encouraged by ATF, to justify a new gun regulation called "Demand Letter 3". That would require some U.S. gun shops to report the sale of multiple rifles or "long guns." Demand Letter 3 was so named because it would be the third ATF program demanding gun dealers report tracing information.

On July 14, 2010 after ATF headquarters in Washington D.C. received an update on Fast and Furious, ATF Field Ops Assistant Director Mark Chait emailed Bill Newell, ATF's Phoenix Special Agent in Charge of Fast and Furious:

"Bill - can you see if these guns were all purchased from the same (licensed gun dealer) and at one time. We are looking at anecdotal cases to support a demand letter on long gun multiple sales. Thanks."

On Jan. 4, 2011, as ATF prepared a press conference to announce arrests in Fast and Furious, Newell saw it as "(A)nother time to address Multiple Sale on Long Guns issue." And a day after the press conference, Chait emailed Newell: "Billโ€“well done yesterdayโ€ฆ (I)n light of our request for Demand letter 3, this case could be a strong supporting factor if we can determine how many multiple sales of long guns occurred during the course of this case."

This revelation angers gun rights advocates. Larry Keane, a spokesman for National Shooting Sports Foundation, a gun industry trade group, calls the discussion of Fast and Furious to argue for Demand Letter 3 "disappointing and ironic." Keane says it's "deeply troubling" if sales made by gun dealers "voluntarily cooperating with ATF's flawed 'Operation Fast & Furious' were going to be used by some individuals within ATF to justify imposing a multiple sales reporting requirement for rifles."

After being approached by a number of ATF whistleblowers, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, begins an investigation into Fast and Furious gunwalking allegations.

 

March 27, 2011: President Obama tells Univision, a Spanish language network, that neither he nor Attorney General Eric Holder knew of or approved Fast and Furious. "There may be a situation here which a serious mistake was made," said President Obama, "and if that's the case then we'll find out and we'll hold somebody accountable."

May 3, 2011: At a House Judiciary Committee hearing on an unrelated topic, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., asks Attorney General Holder when he first heard of Fast and Furious. Holder answers: "I'm not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks." That answer is later called into question based on memos directed to Holder nearly a year earlier. WATCH: Holder's response

Oct. 5, 2011: CBS News reports further on Operation "Wide Receiver," in an exclusive interview with a confidential informant for ATF who said the agency was letting guns walk as early as 2006.

Police kill man with pellet gun near school, leaving parents searching for answers

Just as we do not know the identity of the 27-year-old man โ€” he was seemingly carrying a rifle, which turned out to be a pellet gun โ€” who was shot dead by Toronto police officers some 24 hours earlier, almost directly outside the school, just beyond the parking lot where parents will soon be retrieving their youngsters.

A John Doe for all intents and purposes who on Saturday was to be laid on a slab at the morgue.

Although his name is known to the Special Investigations Unit, they wonโ€™t release it because the manโ€™s family hasnโ€™t consented.

Thatโ€™s a dreadful state of concealment โ€” the SIUโ€™s self-imposed confidentiality mandate, since copied by other civilian law enforcement oversight agencies across Canada โ€” as a city clamours to understand what the hell happened and why.
