Gun Rights Examiner has been so involved providing original investigative reporting on “Project Gunwalker”* developments that investigations conducted by others at times go unexplored. Such is the case with a raw video produced by Fox News on April 27, in which reporter William La Jeunesse interviewed an unidentified confidential informant.
Not that the reports go unnoticed behind the scenes. This correspondent has been in contact with La Jeunesse on Gunwalker developments for some months, and while not free to share his replies, this is what he was emailed following publication of his May 4 report:
Per your report:
“In a second, equally explosive disclosure, a law enforcement source tells Fox News, that ATF undercover agents were acting as the straw buyers and purchasing guns using government-issued false identifications and then providing those guns to cartel traffickers to gain credibility in their undercover roles. In that capacity, the ATF "provided 2, 50 cal. machine guns to traffickers that are loose in Mexico and unaccounted for," the source said.”
From...a[n]...expert on NFRTR:
“IF a dealer had M2s in stock, they could NOT have been legally transferred to a buyer without approval by ATF. Taking the report at face value, it would mean that (1) the straw buyer went through the NFA paperwork process to get the M2s, and (2) ATF knew about that by definition, and allowed the guns to walk anyway.
“I am suspicious of the reports, in the sense that the M2s in question originated from a dealer. Could be that they were M1s, and the straw buyer converted them into machine guns; which is quite a different thing?”
