On December 14, 2010, a firefight erupted in the Arizona desert. When the smoke had cleared, Customs and Border Protection Agent Brian Terry was dead, and the seeds of a scandal had been sown.

Reports I have been reading, say that this was to give credence to the fact that America has been providing the weapons that are used by the cartels, thereby causing the anti gun movements to gain steam to overturn the 2nd Amendment. What a crock!!
In order to become staw suppliers they had to actively seek out buyers. They, in effect, were promoting the selling of arms to the criminals in Mexico.
