Not only can the average person, ie, “anybody” NOT buy “anything”,

but the items and quantities bought in this scandal were specifically made allowance for outside the laws that DO apply to “anybody” else.

The ATF specifically told these gunshop dealers to let these suspicious activities go.

Another lying punk who needs his ass kicked. A freaking corrupt lawyer shouldn't be lecturing anyone on what laws are needed. He should be following the law himself!

Let’s assume these Commie true believers are correct in quoting their hero, Mao - Political power comes from the muzzle of a gun.

Let’s assume that Patriots are correct in their assessment, which includes Mao’s truth as an ultimate statement - Political power is exercised by citizens first at the soap box, then the ballot box, and ultimately, as a last resort, at the ammo box.

Let’s assume the Commies, who have infiltrated our institutions carefully over the past century, have essentially deprived the citizens of a truthful soapbox, and fraudulently co-opted the integrity of the ballot box.

If these assumptions are correct, the only thing standing between the Commies and their dream of destroying and conquering this country - their stated goal - is that pesky little 2nd Amendment, which, BTW was put there in the Constitution exactly as a last line of defense against such tyranny.

Both the true believers and the useful idiots infiltrating our government swore an oath to defend the Constitution. For such people, however, swearing an oath with no intention of keeping it is merely a means, a necessary ruse justified by the end goal.

These people are all traitors. Unfortunately, the institutionalized corruption of Washington will insure that this charge is never brought against them, nor the appropriate sentence carried out.

Therefore, our best hope for now is to continue to use what remains to us of the soap box and the ballot box, and to keep our powder dry. The muzzle of a gun is indeed the ultimate source of political power, and therefore our ultimate defense against tyranny.

“Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer...asked for more gun control and blamed law abiding gun shop owners for violence in Mexico.”

You mean a federal regulator wants more regulation of the thing he regulates? In completely unrelated news, recent trick-or-treating kids say they want more treats.

God, these people are simply shameless - still sticking to their talking points, months after they’ve been blown out of the water. They must have nearly complete faith in both the gullibility of the American people and the complicity of the mainstream media to keep moving forward with this diseased template (i.e., ‘we need more gun control because guns bought in America are being used by Mexican drug cartels.’)

There are two great lines of disdain. One is “You are entitled to your opinion, not your own facts.” The other is “I can’t, I have to rearrange my sock drawer.”

“The problem is, anybody can walk in [to a gun shop] and buy anything,”

The problem is, most criminals do not buy their guns in a store, Feinstein!

They - LSM - still insist upon calling it a “botched federal investigation,” don’t they?

I’m laughing myself silly from this idiotic statement of the year, as far as I am concerned...

There is absolutely no way we can ever take this administration or this department serious again about anything...

I wish I could walk right up to Holder and Obama and laugh my head off at them, tell them what absolute idiots they really are...And it would be the truth!!!

Lock me up for what??? Telling the truth???

Tell you what...Lemme dial up the volumn some, maybe you didn’t hear me...

Investigate me for what??? Hehehe, Pump up da volumn!!!

Geesh, what interesting times we live in...

“...They belong in jail for treachery, treason, and murder...”

Padre, do you REALLY think that’s going to happen?

Way I see it, the two main culprits will walk, and flunkies like Breuer and others will take the fall, like the Good Little Comrade apparachniki they are.

We live in a world where what SHOULD happen doesn’t, and where good people pay the price for what the scum of the Earth do.

I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

More proof - as if any more was needed - that the owebama administration is absolutely FULL of corrupt, anti-American d-bags who are truly evil through and through.

It looks like someone, Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer, is falling on a sword, and that sword happens to be Eric Holder’s.

Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore!"

I don’t expect it to happen. There’s a real possibility some kind of complicity or negligent homicide charge could stick....eventually.

Way I see it, Holder, at least, is impeached next year, IMHO.

IIRC, Issa told Holder last May that Fast & Furios was felony stupid.

Again...hope you are correct.

Do You think the leaders-that-be in the GOP have the balls to do it?

If they have them plus brains, they will. This is without a doubt, the biggest political scandal in U.S. history. There are too many dead bodies including two federal agents. A Fast & Furious weapon was traced to Zapata's murder besides Terry's and all of those Mexicans.

Impeaching them in the House should be a no brainer. Except in states where they are safe, up to 16 rat senators that will have to defend a vote not to remove Holder next November. They are behind the eight ball, big time! The Cain witch hunt is just a smoke screen, IMHO.

“...If they have them plus brains, they will. ...”

My friend...this is the first black Attorney General. They’re TERRIFIED of being called “racists” - even though the left calls all of us that on a daily basis.

Grown men afraid of a word...it’s pathetic.

But I do hope to God you are correct on this. I would dearly love to see this racist commie pr*ck frog-marched out in an orange jump suit, and THEN his equally worthless boss.

Time will tell.

Feinstein is especially hypocritical on guns. She packs heat but does not think thta any of her subjects should. She is simply a dirty pig.
