Just rumor at this time, but there may be fire here.
Would not surprise me in the least if this was the case.
TLDR version:
ATF is passing out AR rifles to "snitches" and gun runners to inflate Mexican/US border gun running numbers.
One of these rifles may have been used to kill US Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.
Border Patrol agent killed with ATF-smuggled AR? Some ATF agents seem to think so.
Waldo brought this interesting exchange at CleanUpATF.org to my attention. It refers to Border Patrol officer Brian A. Terry, killed in a shoot-out with smugglers near the border at Nogales earlier this month.
This is consistent with rumors within and without the ATF that in order to bump up Operation Gunrunner numbers, the Arizona ATF has been encouraging snitches to buy semi-auto rifles and smuggle them south. As you will read below, there are also reports that one of these rifles was used to kill BP officer Terry.
