Tired of the extra violence this year in Chicago? Apparently the ATF has been running a Fast and Furious operation in Evansville Indiana and running the guns to Chicago street gangs. It's being called "Gangwalker", and this time it's taking lives only on this side of the border. More importantly the state of Illinois. If enough people tip WLS they might report it on the air. It's very important that the word gets out! Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

" In a response dated March 10, 2011, attorney Brent R. Weil of Kightlinger and Gray, LLP, informed Houser: Specifically, my client participated with and cooperated in certain law enforcement operations during 2009/2010 at the behest of ATFE enforcement officers from the Evansville, Indiana office (Agent Kevin Whittaker) and in the course of doing so, followed their instructions regarding the completion of certain transactions and the delivery of firearms to purchasers who did not clear the standard NICS [National Instant Check System] background check and were suspected of being involved in the purchase and transportation of handguns out of state despite passing NICS’s background checks. In order to verify ATF claims, Weil requested they “be given a list of the ‘ten or more crime guns with a “time-to-crime: of three years or less’ so that we can satisfy ourselves that we are not being improperly included in this program because of our cooperation with and/or involvement with ATFE enforcement activities.” I'll have to look for where I saw Chicago mentioned as the destination, I know I saw it, it's not smething I would pull out of my ass. Also the situation is still developing. This article came out in September of last year, but it is just gaining attention. I strongly suspect it was overshadowed by Fast and Furious.

Here it is from Sipsey Street:
Fact is, if the the ATF was worried about "crime gun traces," they WERE in fact actually delivered to the gangs. Fact is, the principal market for straw-purchased weapons in Indiana is Chicago. I apologize that I lumped it in with the known facts. However Codrea and Vanderboegh broke F&F, and so far their instincts have been very good. More importantly given the likely destination, and tactics involved I think we can all agree that this needs to be brought to the public's attention, even if the guns didn't go to Chicago, they went somewhere, and death surely followed.

There is also this though:

Weil [above] 0f Kightlinger and Gray, LLP. The Evansville, Indiana lawyer represents the [as yet unnamed] gun store that sold firearms to ATF-enabled straw purchasers . “The ATF told my client to let the sales go through,” Mr. Weil told TTAG. “He later told me that the guns went to Chicago gangs.” In one case, a straw purchaser failed" Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
