Operation Gunrunner was funded by the 2009 Stimulus Package
In that thread I scanned the text of H.R.1 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for gun, firearm, etc and came up with a hit.I posted in the thread: "Only time gun or firearm appears is in the part that give $10,000,000 to the ATF for Project Gunrunner. That was H.R. 495, asking for 15,000,000 for Gunrunner". H.R. 495 that I mentioned never made it out of committee, but it looks as it was to specifically fund Gunrunner. Instead portions of it were rolled into the stimulus package a month later. That text found in H.R.1 is: For an additional amount for State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance, $40,000,000, for competitive grants to provide assistance and equipment to local law enforcement along the Southern border and in High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas to combat criminal narcotics activity stemming from the Southern border, of which $10,000,000 shall be transferred to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Salaries and Expenses for the ATF Project Gunrunner.
