The discovery of two semiautomatic rifles being tracked by the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) at the murder scene of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in Peck Canyon, Arizona on December 14, 2010 eventually led to one of the biggest government scandals in recent history… or so we were led to believe by CBS News, Fox News, CNN, The New York Times, and others.

The recently published conclusion of a six-month investigation conducted by Fortune magazine, however, indicates that the so-called "Fast and the Furious" scandal might be more of a myth than the real McCoy. Based on its findings, the Fortune report reveals that the ATF may never have intentionally allowed guns to fall into the hands of Mexican drug cartels, in which case the scandal is essentially rendered baseless.
