Operation Fast and Furious was a seriously flawed operation organized by ATF agents in Phoenix and the former U.S. attorney in Arizona. Unbelievably, these government agencies allowed drug cartel straw purchasers to smuggle more than 2,000 weapons across the southern border into Mexico. 
As the Inspector General summarizes in his latest report of the affair, the ATF and Department of Justice "failed to take enforcement action when they had both the opportunity and legal authority to seize firearms."

As you know, the events of this government-run wild scheme ended the life of a Border Agent who was murdered with one of the smuggled firearms.

And now it would appear that the whole thing could happen again, not just on the Border but in any one of the Department of Justice's out-of-control agencies. In the murk of Washington alphabet soup, some of the biggest agencies have been singled out for their irresponsible supervision.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? the Romans asked. "Who will guard the guards themselves?
The answer appears to be: no one.
Keeping track of a firearm - something we citizens are expected to do without exception - is apparently too much to ask of Uncle Sam, while several agencies just waved their arms in the air and said that the Inspector General's instructions didn't actually apply to them.
