On December 17th 2010, 2 days after Brian Terry was murdered, the ATF posted for comment a new regulation proposing the reporting of multiple rifle sales with detachable magazines in States bordering Mexico. The regulation was justified according to the written explanation accompanying the proposed regulation: "...Successful trace data from recovered rifles confirm that the United States is a significant source of these rifles by FFLs in the southwest Border States, and that many have been sold by FFLs."
Was the political purpose of Fast and Furious simply the gathering of data for the purpose of the creation of new gun regulations – starting with ATF Form 3310.12, Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles?
If the political purpose of “Fast and Furious” was creating crime data for regulatory reform, can a study of the regulatory creation process for ATF Form 3310.12, Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles help us find out the political operatives that were behind the regulation and its data gathering methods?
