The June 26 editorial "A better gun agency" reported that the Obama administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) surveilled straw gun purchases that took place in Phoenix and then "lost track of" 2,500 such weapons, "some of which have now been traced to criminal activity south of the border."
