Well, at least not all of the F&F guns (there may be 1800 to 2500) has walked across the border to Mexico. Some were recovered in Phoenix in mid-April, in the truck of a car driven by, what a surprise, illegal aliens.

In case you are wondering, these Romarm WASR-10 rifles are AK47 variants manufactured by RomArms of Romania and re-manufactured in the U.S. by licensed dealers like Century Arms. They contain US made trigger groups and other parts to comply with the ATF regulations on imported rifles. They are not machine guns; they are semi-automatic firearms. AK's use the intermediate power 7.62x39 cartridge. It has about 15% less energy than a Winchester 30-30 deer hunting cartridge. Don't call this a "high powered" rifle.
In the article are links to letters from Darrel Issa's Committee to Attorney General Eric Holder and a response from Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich to Issa's Committee. There is a lot of he-said-she-said, but I find the tone and substance of Weich's letter to be essentially stonewalling.
