Just as Second Amendment civil rights activists feared, federal government bureaucrats were supplying illegal firearms to Mexican drug cartels in the expectation that it would led to pressure for more regulation. Analyzing a 60 page document release in response to a FOIA action by Judicial Watch Attkisson writes:

Heck - all the author had to do was monitor FR from the get-go and it would have been obvious long ago...

She was there from the get-go and her articles were the basis of a lot our information. Give credit where credit is due.

It is this simple: OUR OWN GOVERNMENT IS BEING USED TO ATTACK OUR FREEDOM.

I wonder if the family of Brian Terry might use this as grounds for a law suit against Holder and company?

They were probably doing this under the Bush Admin too.

Absolutely right. Hillary was fond of pimping the meme that 95% of the guns used in crimes in Mexico came from the US. Implicit, of course, was a phony sense of concern for the welfare of innocent Mexicans.

The reality of Fast and Furious, with all of its resultant murders of innocents by cartelistas, the major beneficiaries of hillary’s illegal arms trafficking, was that she and the head pimp in the WH didn’t give a rat’s ass about innocent Mexicans.

Never forget. Never forgive.

Actually it is this simple: OUR OWN GOVERNMENT IS OUR ENEMY.

They need to be crushed into oblivion. Starting with the IRS.

Proving this was a rogue effort to change 2d amendment law is also proving the murder of both US border agents and hundreds of Mexican citizens.

I’ve said it before, and I’m sayin’ it again here, and NOW. This entire BS Fast & Furious “GAME” was concocted by Hillary, and dropped in the laps of her fellow travelers to handle as she danced off NOT to be late for the parties, and adulation of her groupies.

The F & F plan is just as dangerous, and sick as is her head.

What is truly disturbing is that this government was freely elected by the people of the United States despite clear indications that the Presidential candidate came from an element of the Democrat Party that operated as a criminal enterprise. Once they gained power, they used it to ensure that they would be reelected. Where they will go next, and what the people will do about it is an open question. Our system of government has proven very strong and resilient, but it has an Achilles Heel when a free people freely elect a tyrant and criminal.

Connecting the dots of Fast and Furious was child’s play. There was only one purpose it could serve. The mystery is why people involved in that little conspiracy to destroy the Constitution aren’t in prison. People are still dying from Holder’s Obamaguns.

Ferret out those intent on providing firearms to the criminal groups?

Why that would be the AG himself and the President.

What does that make them?

The only question I have is who thought up F&F. Hillary or Obama?

Once we have the house AND the senate, we need to reopen some past investigations and see if what we can’t send the appropriate people to prison for treason. that’s exactly what this is, high crimes and misdemeanors directed against the constitution. We all know what the penalty ought to be.

Holder is a depraved monster. The essential element for the success of the plan was the murder of random innocent persons. Those persons were citizens of and in a foreign country, Holder plan is an act of war.

THE CRIME: CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT MURDER

THE SUSPECTS: federal government bureaucrats:

THE MOTIVE: expectation that it would led to pressure for more regulation

THE OPPORTUNITY: supplying illegal firearms to Mexican drug cartels

The ATF should be defunded and shut down! Give whatever legitimate functions it might have had to the FBI.

No, President Cruz should turn it into a civil rights organization which sues state and local governments for infringing on 2nd amendment rights.
