This is a good article to show where the guns come from.

As for stopping it, it's tough. There is really no laws to stop straw purchases and drug running at the federal level. If you catch someone, it's a minor fine even if they're running tons of guns. There have been efforts to beef up the punishment for that, but it's been shot down by NRA backed politicians.
Then you just have the feds refusing to enforce the existing laws. For instance, falsifying information to buy a gun is a felony.
But the federal government simply doesn't care.
