The ATF has another failed gun operation on their hands. Undercover agents in Milwaukee, WI posed as store workers at a company called Fearless Distributing and ran "a storefront sting aimed at busting criminal operations in the city by purchasing drugs and guns from felons."

The sting was filled with mistakes over the course of its 10 months. The operation ended after someone broke into the storefront and stole $35,000 in merchandise, including an ATF military-style machine gun that ended up on the city's streets. No big time arrests were made, only low-level players were apprehended and charged with gun possession. In at least three cases, the police captured the wrong person. In one instance, police charged a man who was already in prison when the agents said he was selling drugs to them.

Say again...

The operation ended after someone broke into the storefront and stole $35,000 in merchandise, including an ATF military-style machine gun that ended up on the city's streets.

Perhaps if obama's justice department would stop supplying fully automatic weapons to criminals...they wouldn't have to worry about them being on the street...

The sting points to lack of planning and oversight. Veterans of the ATF told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel they have never seen operations run this way. They acknowledged operations would have problems, but never to this scale.
