I forgot to copy my response to Lurker to you as well. I just don’t think we are dealing with people that care about the weapons being traced.
Lurker said in response “So they don’t get caught in possession of a weapon that can be traced ballistically back to a murder. That’s why”
My response to Lurker: “I don’t think those drug cartel animal sorts really care about such things. Those in the field, many only children as young as thirteen as we have read committing such atrocities as murdering their fellow man, or agents of the U.S. border patrol aren’t generally the sophisticated hit man you see in James Bond flicks.
These weapons are intended to be found as I see it Lurker.”
They probably wouldn’t care about individual shooters, no. But the pattern of distribution they very well might want to keep secret. For instance if certain guns where known to be used in a town in mexico, then the same guns were used in a town in Brazil, and then later still in Peru, law enforcement would look for other patterns connecting those places. It wouldn’t be about protecting shooters, it would be about protecting movements and connections that might affect revenue.
“These weapons are intended to be found as I see it...”
Could very well be.
Freegards
The point being, media, Dems et al kept it up over and over that Bush was a liar, Bush lieed ___died, etc. Liar liar! So let us start the same drum beat. Predicate every sentence with Obama is a liar... Of course he is, but he needs that rubbed into his face. Let it soak into the culture.
Well said. These guns must be being treated as one-use throw-downs, so that there’s never a pattern.
“Attkisson’s explosive series of reports prompted a strong rebuke from DOJ. In her February 23 exclusive she cites a letter in which the Justice Department claims the ATF “has never knowingly allowed the sale of assault weapons to suspected gunrunners.”
And, what the hell is this, a scrupulous reporter??? Smells like erika holder had a accident. bambi, bambi, whatever shall I do?
“They don’t give two bits about the Country, Constitution, or Justice.”
And their media whores will give them cover.
