Nobody knew about Gunrunner and it was run in Texas.
Gun dealer compliance inspections conducted on the Southwest
border, inspection hours worked by Southwest border field division
inspectors, and inspection finding referrals made to ATF’s criminal
enforcement personnel for subsequent action.
– ATF increased the number of gun dealer compliance inspections along the Southwest Border by 133 percent and increased the number of compliance inspection hours worked by 102 percent.
The total number of referrals ATF Industry Operations personnel made to ATF criminal enforcement personnel increased by 47 percent.
In addition to its increased program activities described above, ATF
implemented a Gunrunner Impact Team initiative that increased the
number of gun dealer compliance inspections conducted and cases initiated
within the Houston Field Division area.
Under this initiative, ATF deployed 100 agents, investigators, and support staff to the Houston Field Division for 120 days. ATF reported that the team conducted over 1,000 inspections of gun dealers and generated investigative leads leading to the seizure of over 400 firearms.
Despite the increased ATF activity associated with Project Gunrunner,
we found that significant weaknesses in ATF’s implementation of Project
Gunrunner undermine its effectiveness.
We found that ATF does not systematically and consistently exchange
intelligence with its Mexican and some U.S. partner agencies. In addition,
some ATF field agents reported that they do not find investigative leads provided to them by ATF’s Field Intelligence Groups to be timely and usable.
We also determined that intelligence personnel in ATF’s Southwest border
field divisions do not routinely share firearms trafficking intelligence with
each other. ATF could better implement its Border Liaison Program to
improve information sharing and coordination between its U.S. and its
Mexico personnel.
The success of Project Gunrunner depends, in part, on ATF’s sharing
intelligence with its Mexican and U.S. partner agencies, including the Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Department of Homeland
Security’s (DHS) Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Although
ATF has shared some strategic intelligence products with each of its partner
agencies, it is not doing so systematically and consistently.
