guns to mexico. secondly, you have another, lead buyer who bought 313 guns, again, in a matter of months, he was on food stamps. again, the wire taps indicate where these guns are going, that they re getting the money basically out of drug trafficking, and they re going to mexico, and they re finding out a return amount of information that the guns are being recovered in mexico at crime scenes or being seized down in juarez, or naco or tijuana and telling us, so we know about the serial number, this gun was bought at this firearms dealer in phoenix, transport to do mexico, now showing up at a crime scene, yet you let these individuals continue to buy week after week, month after month, putting 15, $20,000 cash on a 50 caliber weapon, that they don t have an income to buy. wasn t the information released that the bush administration had done something similar like this? obviously the attorney general
