Issa's Right: Tougher Gun Laws Fast And Furious Goal
IBD Editorials ^ | June 26, 2012

Posted on 06/26/2012 6:29:36 PM PDT by raptor22

Scandal: The head of the House oversight panel suggests the real reason for the administration's invoking executive privilege in the Fast and Furious case is to hide proof that the operation was part of a push for gun control.

Defenders of President Obama's use of executive privilege to provide cover for Attorney General Eric Holder in the gun-running fiasco that resulted in the deaths of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and ICE Agent Jaime Zapata may dismiss it as just another conspiracy theory. But the suggestion by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., that the deadly operation was conceived to advance the administration's gun-control agenda is quite plausible.

"Here's the real answer as to gun control," Issa said on ABC's "This Week": "We have email from people involved in this that are talking about using what they're finding here to support the — basically assault weapons — ban or greater reporting."

Issa was asked about the possible connection after comments he made at an NRA convention. "Could it be," he said on NRA News' "Cam & Company" program, "that what they really were thinking of was in fact to use this walking of guns in order to promote an assault weapons ban? Many think so. And they haven't come up with an explanation that would cause any of us not to agree."

Of course. A false flag operation instituted to discredit American gun dealers in Arizona. Dead people were just expected collateral damage so they could gin up a crack down on legitimate American gun owners and dealers.

That’s what is hidden in the documents Issa wants!

Tougher gun laws was the intermediate goal. Disarming the American populace was a step to the ultimate goal of takeover of America by international socialism.

It is vital to realize that such a scheme would never work unless American lives were *sacrificed*.

Unlike the Columbus, NM massacre by Poncho Villa, that was enough to stimulate Americans to demand the invasion of Mexico to catch or kill Villa, Obama would never do *that*, because his objective was not for the Mexicans to be the bad guys, but for American gun sellers to be blamed for the death of Americans.

The scary part is to realize that the death of Brian Terry would not have been enough for this goal. So the intention of Obama and Holder was to *kill* even more Americans!

Obama and Holder wanted to *murder* Americans for their agenda! If that degree of ruthlessness doesn’t get to you, I don’t know what would.

And if they are willing to kill Americans for that reason, what other “agenda items” are they serious enough about to *murder* Americans?

Take an oath of office and not uphold the law and lie under oath and wonder why he is held in contempt? The MSM has not covered the big story again and again and they wonder why the ratings are in the can?

I wonder how many of the Chicago deaths belong to Obama.

I believe the leader of this operation is in the documents that Issa wants. That leader is Barrack Hussein Obama.

This is a criminal enterprise.

If you have an interest in this, you MUST read Katie Pavlich's book "Fast and Furious". We have all gotten the inoi piecemeal because the MSM has ignored it. Katie puts all of this in perspective. The back 1/3 of the book is "proofs" for what she states. There is also an excellent timeline that is worth spending time with. She has put actual copies of the emails with the redactions into the appendix ... No wonder Issa said these were "black" documents. To me, it was a surprise that Napolatano was up to her ears In this too, and real purgery has occurred. I read the Kindle edition, but tonight ordered a hard copy so I could share the redacted documents and timelines with friends.

Hats off to this young lady for an excellent job...finally we encounter a real journalist.

in case this has been missed -

http://www.pjtv.com/page/Afterburner_with_Bill_Whittle/127/

Bill Whittle of PJ TV did a video a few days ago aout the ideology of Obama and Holder - his take seems to be what is driving plenty of congress people and radio talking heads. The really good news is that now there are dozens of sites like PJ, Daily Caller, Examiner, etc etc to go with the long time work of Freepers. The wilderness is full of folks like us who want to expsoe the crap in government.

Zer0 and H0;der need to personally go into Mexico to disarm the whole country.

(They could practice in Chicago.)

Why is it that the Left goes ape$hit over the supposed revealing of Valerie Plame, whose name was actually in Who’s Who and was not an active agent in harm’s way, yet they cannot seem to muster a tiny bit of sentiment for Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, slaughtered by the lies, deceit and incompetence of Atty General Holder. The balance is out of whack, and it doesn’t serve their purposes politically to mourn the actual death of an American agent killed by their leader’s negligence, but they can caterwaul relentlessly for the exaggerated threats to a woman who was safely ensconced in her Washington home.

All I see is hypocrisy.

I thought the Plame story was trumped up when I heard it.

I thought Patrick Fitzgerald did a huge disservice to the country with that bull dinky prosecution of a non-crime.

Obama is a corrupt political liar who is trying to cover up his murderous policy.

Just like the communists.

Some people must die for the revolution to more forward.

If this is true, Obama has caused the death of 300 people.

Is jail time in his future?

As punishment for this underhanded and totally illegal and Unconstitutional scheme, the Government needs to lose a LOT of control over firearms. They have shown that they are NOT trustworthy with the current restrictions and these restrictions must be removed.

Nothing short of this will be acceptable.

Forget about “punishing” the officials who want this — they should simply be ousted.
