Dear friends, U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in 2010.  At his crime scene was a firearm that federal agents had deliberately allowed to be purchased as part of the Fast and Furious operation conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE).  Under the operation, agents instructed firearms dealers to make sales to suspected “straw buyers” with the full expectation that they would end up in the hands of Mexican cartels.
