Editorial: Was Fast And Furious A Gun-Control Plot?

Um, yes.

[DefeatCorruption]

How has Obama managed to elude impeachment or anyone blowing the whistle on him yet/defies logic.

[marygam]

No Doubt in my mind! This WH is filled with thugs and criminals.

[WVNight]

Absolutely.

[GOPJ]

...the ATF program actually an attempt to advance gun-control efforts by an administration that has blamed Mexican violence on easy access to U.S. weapons...

Works better without the question mark.

[Logical me]

This goes all the way up to King Obama. He is a communists traitor.

[Chode]

ummm YES!!!

[AAABEST]

Those of us following this from the beginning have been saying this all along. The motivation they claim - that they were doing this to "track" the weapons - is a steaming pile of horseshit on its face.

How on God's earth did they plan on tracking these weapons once they crossed the border, or even once they left the gun shops for that matter? Did they have GPS transmitters on them, or perhaps on agent assigned to tail each of the literally thousands of weapons?

Then, even if they did discover the guns wound up with cartels, how exactly would anyone benefit from that information? "Eureka, we've found that drug cartels buy guns!"

The line they're feeding us about sending thousands of guns to Mexico to "track" them is a bald-faced lie. The government officials behind this are nothing more than corrupt, gun-smuggling criminals.

Is IBD so dense that they are just getting it now? Oh, geez.

This is simple. Think back to the media/DNC anti gun propaganda push. The DNC/MSM had an all out scam going about evil white pro 2nd amendment types sending guns to mexico. Remember??? It was a co-ordinated plan right out of the White House.

[He Rides A White Horse]

"Allowing loads of weapons that we knew to be destined for criminals — this was the plan," Dodson testified to the panel. "It was so mandated."

Speaks volumes.

Perhaps because all was going as planned until it was learned that two of the AK-47s recovered at the scene of the fatal shooting of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry in December were bought in ATF's Operation Fast and Furious. That wasn't supposed to happen.

It did. If any citizen acted so negligently, you can bet that a long prison term would be in the cards.

Not with this group. It was mandated.

[kevslisababy]

Another version of “Wag the Dog”!

Was F & F a gun control plot?

Sure has all the ingredients. I wonder if many gun-grabbin politicians know this:

I present to you:

The "Conspiracy Against Rights" Law, Title 18, Chapter 13, Section 241.

It says: Any Two or More Persons - who conspire to deprive a citizen of a right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution (like the 2nd Amendment in the Bill of Rights), may be held personally responsible for damages. If these public officials conspire to injure, oppress, threaten or intimidate ANY PERSON in ANY STATE, Territory or District in the free exercise of any Right secured to him by the Constitution of the United States, that public servant(s) can be found guilty, and can be punished by up to 10 years in jail.

(And THAT means that if someone looses their life because you took away means of self defense, you are an enabler of murder. One of these sad days this is going to occur and I hope some politician(s) pay dearly.)

IMHO this is NOT enough time behind bars for a person who enables murder.

Have a fine weekend all

SEMPER FI

This goes all the way up to King Obama. He is a communists traitor.

If so it would be grounds to impeach the illegal president.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yeh of course it was a gun control plot. Now its Watergate. Sometimes things work out.

How has Obama managed to elude impeachment or anyone blowing the whistle on him yet/defies logic.

That's easy to explain. Too many Americans are obsessed with whatever American Idol show is on or the Kayley Anthony murder trial.

Well how about that. There really was a River of Iron flowing into Mexico.
