The lessons that can be learned from the debacle of Operation Fast and Furious to me would be to first gather more information regarding the trafficking and also they should have asked for more help once they were overwhelmed. They also should have gone ahead and made the necessary arrest when they had sufficient evidence on the criminals. It may have reduced the amount of people killed on American soil and across the border. However, Operation Fast and Furious was a good idea regarding the gun trafficking but should've had more thought on how long the sting would last. Especially since so many people were murdered with the guns they let the criminals obtain.
