Scandal: Newly obtained documents show that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives discussed using its covert operation Fast and Furious to argue for new rules about gun sales. We told you so.
As we observed in June, the way Fast and Furious the government's gun-running operation that resulted in the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was conducted made no sense unless its intent was to facilitate violence with U.S. weapons in the interests of pursuing the administration's gun-control agenda.
Now documents obtained by CBS News confirm that our first suspicions were correct.
As CBS' Sharyl Attkisson reports, emails show ATF officials discussed using the deliberate transfer of weapons to Mexican drug cartels to justify a new gun regulation known as "Demand Letter 3."
We say deliberate because congressional testimony by ATF agents demonstrates how the tracking of Fast and Furious weapons stopped at the border and that requests to interdict the weapons transfers and arrest the gun traffickers were denied by higher-ups.
Demand Letter 3 was so named because it was the third ATF attempt to have Southwest gun shops report all long-gun (rifle or shotgun) sales to the ATF even those to law-abiding American citizens with all the proper registration and other forms.

Any push to stifle gun sales is a push to destroy the foundation of our government as layed as a firm foundation to document via blood, sweat, and tears.
Get some rope.
Rush diagnosed this right at the start.
2nd Amendment ping
Conspire to deprive a citizen of Constutional guarantees under color of law = ? ? ?
Ask your lawyer friend (you do have one, we know it).
Hint: think a four digit number beginning with 19, as in “19—”.

Nazi Germany reborn???
This is only news, to those who have not been critically watching what our President has been trying to do.
The corruption and disregard for the US Constitution by this administration is beyond anything this country has ever seen.
Rush and his staff read Free Republic.
Limbaugh was so late to this party it isn’t even funny. If his staff really did read about F&F on FR they were doing it one letter at a time and taking very, very frequent breaks.
An overt act on the part of the administration or officials of the government will be a clarion call for citizens to take action. (look up vigilante in the dictionary) The only redress that We the people can enforce is to hang those who attempt to deprive us of our rights.
To whoever might take this as a threat, (the administration), well..... bring it on, it has to start some where!
It would vastly improve your results if you did. ;^)
“Nazi Germany reborn???” Not quite, but functionally the Regime IS following Hitler’s play book.
I recall reading about fed "requests" for multiple long gun sales info from gun dealers more than a year ago and Agent Terry was killed last year just about this time.
Searching Rush I found this from July of 2011 but it was not his first mention:
"RUSH: July 7th, 2011. So you remember Fast and Furious. This is where we arranged for thousands of guns, long guns, automatic, semiautomatic, AK-47s, machine guns, bazookas, whatever, to end up in the hands of drug lords, right out of gun stores, gun shops in Phoenix, just walked outta there right across the border into Mexico, into the hands of the drug cartel and the cartel was supposed to do with those guns what drug cartel people do, start using them, bam, bam, you're dead. They did. Hundreds of people died as a result of these guns being walked out of Phoenix gun shops and others along the border. And in this period of time a border agent got killed. So when attention was brought to bear on this, I said, "Well, it's clear what this is all about. Who do we have in the White House? We have a quasi-liberal socialist Marxist. What do they hate? They hate citizens having guns. They hate the Second Amendment."
On FR? It was known around here long before June of this year if that's what you're asking. Known to Rush? Who knows when the Liberals Favorite Conservative got a clue.
This is nothing less than a conspiracy to deprive Americans of a fundamental Right. I believe that is a Felony. I also believe the actors in such a conspiracy can be sued.

Indeed it does have to start somewhere, FRiend Smith.
But where? And against whom?
A line of blue-helmeted Cuban troops marching down Main Street would make for an easy (and easy to justify) target.
But shooting (or hanging ... I’m a sucker for nostalgia) American civilians, even if they are corrupt officials, would be met with a savage response.
Besides, Obummer would just LOVE to see the “bitter clingers” launch an open, armed insurrection. Then he could declare a national emergency and God alone knows what horrors we would suffer.
