The Drug Enforcement Agency is refusing to turn over a stash of assault rifles seized during a bust in Phoenix last month. This was after finding out at least one of those guns were part of that sting, orchestrated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. It was known as the “Fast and Furious” program — where the ATF allowed its own assault weapons to be sold on the streets, in the hopes of tracking them as they passed through the hands of straw buyers and middle-men.
