The evidence seems to indicate 'Yes'.

The practice of knowingly allowing guns to "walk" -- or be sold to straw buyers and then transferred to criminal organizations -- is against ATF policy. However, at least 15 ATF whistleblowers claim the agency, with the approval of Holder's Department of Justice, encouraged gun stores to make sales to questionable buyers, then failed to interdict the weapons.

According to Mexican authorities, at least 1,800 of those weapons were successfully smuggled into Mexico, where the cartels used them to commit crimes and foment violence.

What especially galls and upsets U.S. gun owners is this: While the ATF was allegedly sending guns south, hoping to eventually bust the entire trafficking organization, Obama administration officials, including President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, were partly blaming U.S. gun stores for the violence in Mexico.


Jimbo is partially right about gun shops knowing that some of their wares were going south of the border because the administration  wants it that way. Remember the quote "You never let a serious crisis go to waste." by Rahm Emanuel? The chaos in Mexico aided with commercial guns from legitimate US dealers who reported the gunrunners  could be used to get more restrictive gun laws  passed. The lap dog press with the leg tingles would be happy to comply with pro-administration reporting minus the rest of the story.
