Project Gunrunner -- evaluated by the DOJ-OIG

[Hawki72]

Project Gunrunner is the government's efforts to reduce access to firearms by the Mexican drug cartels. The Dept. of Justice Inspector General just published an analysis of the Project.

http://www.justice.gov/oig/reports/ATF/e1101.pdf

a long report -- an interesting finding:

"ATF has not focused its enforcement efforts on complex conspiracy investigations with multiple defendants, which are the type of cases that can best disrupt firearms trafficking rings." ...

"Project Gunrunner’s investigative focus has largely remained on gun dealer inspections and straw purchaser investigations, rather than targeting higher-level traffickers and smugglers. As a result, ATF has not made full use of the intelligence, technological, and prosecutorial resources that can help ATF’s investigations reach into the higher levels of trafficking rings."
