I beginning to wonder if drug money is flowing to the Obama and DNC campaign funds.
Good find, Brad!
Wasn’t this shortly after the feds brought a law suit against a (I believe) TX gun store that was thrown out by the judge due to lack of evidence?
Connecting the dots would indicate that the reason for the actions taken by the feds were in order to try to fabricate the evidence needed to mount a PR campaign to vilify legal gun owners and gun stores.
As Wayne LaPierre once said, “the administration is willing to accept a certain level of violence in order to implement their gun control policies.” That was about the Clinton administration. It seems that Obama has raised the stakes from violence to a certain number of dead bodies.

"You're going to spend $8,000 and sell them for $20,000 or $25,000 down in Mexico," according to an agent who wished to be identified only as Steve.
On the world market, military AK-47s are sold for well under $100 each. Why in the world would the cartels want to go through the trouble of paying very high prices, then smuggling the guns across the border.
Why is nobody asking this question?

A very important new revelation; the guns were not only part of a national DOJ program, but also were the product of FMS; "Foreign Military Sales".
This term implies formal US government to Mexican government contact --many documents and licenses are involved. Now the Zetas and MS-13 are NOT governments, but the guns ended up in their hands.
And HILLARY is also involved, unless she claims that some State Department rogues were involved --I guess she could SAY anything.
But my guess is that this was NOT only Hussein --it was HILLARY also.
And since such an important part of her job vis-a-vis Mexico was concerned was to intone this heart-wrenching angst about US guns going to Mexico, the following is clear:
Their scheme involved:
1.) Smuggling guns to Mexico and Central America (e.g., Honduras)
2.) Decrying the violence that it caused.
Next Hearing on BATFE’s Operation Fast and Furious Announced
Friday, July 22, 2011
The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has announced that on Tuesday, July 26, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee will convene another hearing as part of the ongoing investigation into the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Operation Fast and Furious. The committee called the program a tragically flawed effort that is connected to deaths on both sides of the U.S./Mexico border.
The hearing, Operation Fast and Furious: The Other Side of the Border, will feature the testimony of U.S. law enforcement officials who witnessed a different side of the controversial operation. These agents allegedly saw the steady stream of Fast and Furious guns recovered at crime scenes in Mexico and were given orders from superiors not to alert Mexican authorities.
