The government-sanctioned gunrunning operation Fast and Furious was a plot to undermine Second Amendment rights in the United States, National Rifle Association officer Wayne LaPierre charged on Friday in an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV.
“It’s the only thing that makes any sense,” LaPierre said. “Over a period of two or three years they were running thousands and thousands of guns to the most evil people on earth. At the same time they were yelling ’90 per cent… of the guns the Mexican drug cartels are using come from the United States.’
“That was a phony figure from the very start. Even the Wikileaks cables from our own State Department prove they are coming from Central America, they are not coming from the U.S. Every police officer will tell you that they’re coming from Russia, they’re coming from China, most of them are coming from Central America and a lot of them are coming from defections from the Mexican Army,” said LaPierre, the NRA's executive vice president and CEO.
But LaPierre said that President Barack Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were determined to make it appear that most weapons used by the Mexicans came from north of the border, “so they could stick more gun legislation on honest American gun owners of the United States.”

“Our job is to protect the Second Amendment and that means that every gun owner, every Second Amendment supporter needs to do everything they can to make sure that President Obama does not get a second term so that he can destroy the Second Amendment.
“This is the most dangerous election in our lifetime for the Second Amendment freedom that American citizens have. A second term by President Obama will break the back of that freedom in this country.”

Tried, convicted and hung by the neck for treason works for me.
I THINK IT’S TIME TO START USING OUR SECOND AMENDMENT.
The NRA has been on top of Fast and Furious since last winter. They have linked 411 articles about it.
Wayne has known this for a long time. I learned about it from the NRA. What puzzles me is that he has not publicly stated this fact earlier.
One more time.
“and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton”
was that before she smooched arafat’s wife on the cover of the NY Post?
You can always count on the NRA to be on top of things.......sheesh. Kind of the same way they got on board during Heller.
Until everyone, not currently sentenced and in a prison cell, has their God-given right to bear arms restored to them, no one has the right, but merely a revocable priviledge. It’s everyone or no one, folks, and this is merely a step in the “no one” agenda.
Ok, I accept that as an explanation.
The NRA absolutley HAS to be extra sensitive to "gotcha!" ploys (after all...F&F is a big "gotcha!" ploy that was directed at the 2nd ammendment)
We need to arrest EVERYONE who had ANYYHING to do with this and turn them over to the Mexican government. Let them sort it out. They have over 200 people dead and increased crime in their country thanks to our government.
Then for the survivors someday released from Mexican prisons, try them in this country for treason.
See comment# 23.
0bungles knew that Holder didn't know before Holder knew that he didn't know.
How Did Obama Know About "Fast and Furious" Before Holder?
And then there is this...
"Grenade-walking" part of "Gunwalker" scandal
And this...
Worse Than Gunwalker? State Dept. Allegedly Sold Guns to ZetasPhil Jordan, a former CIA operative and one-time leader of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center, claims that the Obama administration is running guns to the violent Zetas cartel through the direct commercial sale of military grade weapons:
Jordan, who served as director of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center in 1995, said the Zetas have shipped large amounts of weapons purchased in the Dallas area through El Paso.

“They’ve found anti-aircraft weapons and hand grenades from the Vietnam War era,” Plumlee said. Other weapons found include grenade launchers, assault rifles, handguns and military gear including night-vision goggles and body armor.
More about State Department involvement...
— has sources claiming “Obama’s man in the State Department,” (former) Deputy Secretary of State Jim Steinberg, was the State Department operative who helped Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and the Department of Justice Deputy Attorney General David Ogden formulate the strategy that led to the tactics used in Operation Fast and Furious.Steinberg took office as Deputy Secretary of State on January 28, 2009
A little more than two years later, it was announced that Steinberg's time in the Obama State Department was over. From the New York Times, 30 March 2011:
Mrs. Clinton heaped praise on Mr. Steinberg, describing him as an “indispensable” partner. “On every foreign policy challenge, big and small, he has helped formulate our policy and oversee its execution,” she wrote. Mr. Steinberg, she said, played “Oscar to Jack Lew’s Felix,” referring to Jacob J. Lew, her other deputy, who left earlier this year to become Mr. Obama’s budget director.

Which comes to this...
Grassley to ask for resignation of highest-level person who signed off on Fast and Furious
Which just doesn't seem like enough.
They have to be very careful what that take on. The NRA is an expert at the political game.
Nothing like being late to the party...
Some of us have been saying that for a decade or more. I agree that we shouldn’t resort to something that drastic without good reason, but dammit... how many more really GOOD reasons do we need?
Fixed it... And yes, I'm a Life Member.
“..I learned about it from Sipsey Street...”
Mike Vanderbeough was first with this and needs to be commended and supported.
As for the NRA, hey, Wayne- better late than never. Welcome to the party, and now that you’re in, DO SOMETHING with the big bucks you have and a whole battery of lawyers.
