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.

I’m half way through her book.
Alarming read.
Dear Sharyl,please Watch Your Back!!!!!GOD Bless!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have no doubt the Master Architect of the whole program was Hillary Clinton.
it was obvious to anybody with eyes in the year before fast and furious hit. There was a flurry of new stories explaining how American gun stores were fueling the Mexican Civil War. I remember being ready for the “proof” to hit. This was a first class conspiracy to restrict gun rights. Obama murdered hundreds of Mexican citizens to accomplish one of his revolutionary socialist goals.
The political Right are firm believers in Individual Liberty, and it’s companion Individual Responsibility.
Attempts to get them to agree to any collective “Plan of Action” is difficult at best, and impossible at worst.
We are effectively a Herd of Cats!
Sadly, the treachery and treason will not be dealt with as it should, with trial and firing squad. America ... it was an amazing experiment while it lasted with the voters as the true sovereigns. The globalist oligarchs have brought it to an end and now rule with agenda to take the world.
Cruz will never be elected president. If you believe so, you’re delusional.
I would LOVE to see Cruz as president, but it’s sadly impossible with our electorate as it is.
If you can't write with certainty, do not pollute the thread with speculation, conjecture or day dreams that only helps the other side.
“I have no doubt the Master Architect of the whole program was Hillary Clinton.”
Hillary was certainly in the lead publically decrying the “easy access to arms” in the US. It was very apparent that all her speechifying was leading towards gutting the 2nd Amendment....
If Hillary ever gets into the WH again (shudder) we’ll see a reprise of this whole topic.
Even here, trolls and disruptors. Boy, they must be very fully staffed down in the fusion centers. And we’re paying their salaries.
Let's call Fast and Furious what it is. State-sponsored terrorism.
On this side of the border it's violations of the RICO Act. In Mexico and Honduras it's state-sponsored terrorism.
What else would you call heavily arming international criminal syndicates within a foreign country wherein that country is in a death struggle with those syndicates?
Especially when it goes beyond thousands of assault rifles to include grenades, RPGs, shoulder fired rockets, anti-aircraft guns, night vision equipment, body armor and special deals to bring their drugs onto our soil with legal impunity?
Not to mention that the rip crew that killed BP Agent Brian Terry was there with DEA and FBI assistance and approval to attack and kill a rival cartel's smuggling crew.
Let's not leave out the DEA laundering millions of dollars for the drug cartels by setting up bank accounts for them that they otherwise couldn't do.
It's organized, it is spread through every Federal LEA and it violates numerous domestic laws and numerous statutes and treaties that deal with foreign nations. Yet none of it has been officially sanctioned. It's the FedGov acting like mafiosa.
DHS Complicit In Drug Cartel Human Trafficking
CONFIRMED: The DEA Struck A Deal With Mexico's Most Notorious Drug Cartel

0bama, Holder and Hillary Clinton are all deeply involved in this and it is state-sponsored terrorism. These criminal thugs are dragging our country down to the level of Tehran and Pyongyang.
No, they weren’t.
That was the meme when F&F was being “investigated”.
The difference, if I remember correctly, is that the Bush stings were not actually allowing guns to be transported to Mexico. One of the differences anyway. Have to do a little research.
Maybe you took this wrong.
I was trying to say since Bush 41, there has been an effort on the part of the ATF to push their anti-gun agenda.
I’m not saying the Bush family was actively involved.
I’m saying they allowed the ATF to be unchecked for some reason.
Waiting for the MSM outlets to pick up on this story in 3....2....1.... NOT!!!!

Gunwalker: Smoking Gun Email?An internal ATF email seems to support the assertion that Fast and Furious was a PR stunt for gun control.
PJM’s Bob Owens has long speculated that the primary reason for Operation Fast and Furious was to perpetuate the lie that 90 percent of illegal firearms in Mexico were from the United States.
Owens’ assertion was buoyed on Wednesday by internal ATF emails obtained by Townhall.com. One email reads:
"Can you see if these guns were all purchased from the same FfL and at one time. We are looking at anecdotal cases to support a demand letter on long gun multiple sales. Thanks Mark R. Chait Assistant Director Field Operations."Assistant Attorney General (Criminal Division) Lanny Breuer got a Power Point presentation on Fast and Furious.

July 28, 2011 Senior ATF, Justice officials ignored Mexico-based agents’ complaints, bragged about Fast and Furious successesGil and now-acting ATF attaché to Mexico Carlos Canino also told congressional investigators high-ranking ATF and Justice Department officials bragged about what they considered successes of Operation Fast and Furious. Officials they said included Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer, who oversees the DOJ’s criminal division, and acting ATF director Ken Melson.
“Lanny Breuer says, yeah, there is a good case, there is a good case out of Phoenix,” Canino said of a meeting he and Gil had with Breuer and the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, Carlos Pascual.
Gil said Breuer was going to present the outcome of Operation Fast and Furious to Mexican authorities as evidence of a positive effort to stop weapons trafficking. Gil said Breuer said the ATF investigation “looks like it’s going to generate some good results and it will be a good positive case that we can present to the Government of Mexico as efforts that the US government is taking to try and interdict weapons going into Mexico.”
