AFT busting Housewives for gun running

[big red]

Does anyone have any information on the article posted on AOL about the "real" texas housewives busted for gun running? Sounds like the start of a reality series to me. ATF can't seem to keep track of their own guns but managed to bust some ladies picking up extra "lunch money". Comments and additional information. (LOL)

Funny how ATF can manage to do this in Texas, when it's got a tie-in with the whole F&F gun running scandal. But they turn a blind eye to this sort of activity in places like Oakland (baby mama/wife/gf with clean record straw purchases for 'banger bf/husband/baby daddy/etc.)

Regardless of the laws broken and it being indicative of poor performance by the feds, it's pretty funny that these 'gun bunnies' have been doing this.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Federal authorities say young housewives who bought assault rifles from Texas gun dealers are among nearly two dozen charged in an alleged plot to smuggle firearms into Mexico.

The Department of Justice said Wednesday that more than 200 weapons largely purchased around San Antonio had been seized.

Federal agents said the guns were bound for the hands of Mexican drug cartels.

The U.S. Attorney's Office and Homeland Security officials trumpeted the arrests as a "big hit" but were less forthcoming when asked to put the size of the broken-up ring in perspective.
