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:

I'm sending them money.
Got it.
Bush admin allowed the purchases but was adamant about stopping transport before reaching the border.
Obama admin made a point of losing track of the guns precisely to let them cross the border, to see what fatal crime scenes they ended up at.
HUGE difference.
In other words F&F was used in an attempt to give aid and comfort to the enemy. What did the top 20 ATF officials know and when did they know it? Let them join Holder in being indicted, tried, and convicted for treason against the United States of America.
That the whole purpose for ‘Fast and Furious’ was to create a basis for drastic new regulations is a no-brainer. It failed part way through when a border agent was killed and the scheme was disclosed.
With every new day, more comes out about her superb work and the way she was targeted for it.
The research has all been done to the Nth degree. It’s all available, a few searches will open it on your screen.
The ATF was only one of the participants in the Fast & Furious caper. Aside from the ATF, the FBI, the DEA, the Border Patrol, the U.S. Attorney's office in Phoenix and the State Department were all involved.
The involvement of so many different federal agencies and different departments is prima facie evidence that the rot extends straight into the Attorney General's and the President's offices.
Accordingly, don't limit your disdain to the ATF. Half the damn government was involved in a conspiracy to deny us our 2nd Amendment rights.
I understand that. I also understand that “you suck” is not a good response when someone say “Bush did it too!”
I do thank ya’ll for all the links. I’m not smart enough to remember all that.
Isn't it ironic that they made their chops on investigative reporting on one block buster story, and then rested on their laurels for 4 decades and spent their efforts covering for democrats and doing no more news, yet people look at them as stars?
THE RIVER OF GUNS
I remember the MSM lies too. Like good little evil sheep they all pushed the narrative.
The Bush family wants the new world order badly. Part of that is disarming the world (except the police, militaries and the elite.) They have to actually get rid of a lot of the constitution and the borders between Canada and Mexico.
Hate to say it but they are trying to introduce Sharia law into the US for Muslims as they have in Britain to mess up our constitutional legal system. A lot of our freedoms - like the first amendment - don’t fit their new ideal of a united world.
They will have the biggest fight over ending the second amendment and they can’t get rid of the constitution and put us under the rule of the new world order if we are armed.
Perhaps but I am not ready to show my back side to the thespians in the GOP already without a fight.
Of possible “nut job conspiracy” interest.
Yes; because the if the people are allowed weapons, they might form militia, and if the form militia they might think that evils are no longer sufferable and march against their rightful masters housed in DC.
Well, I've been working on possible amendments as a solution to much of the crap in the federal government.

I ought to send/fax it to (a) the members of congress, and (b) all the state legislatures.
I believe this is why the `08 election was Obama v. McCain. (Both of questionable NBC qualification; essentially setting up a Morton's Fork WRT erosion of the NBC requirement.)
It is also a reason I cannot endorse Cruz as President. (Born in Canada, to a citizen and non-citizen; if elected will likely cement the precedent of Obama.)
In short, I believe the one world government types are playing us — building precedents which undermine the troublesome
portions of our Constitution… esp. if they can get away with it by giving lip-service (the 2nd Amendment vs. the GCA and NFA, or restricting firearms from federal property, for example).
Not much of a mystery.
You see, the Republican party is about none of what it claims to be about, they put on a show (with Issa) about investigating
Fast and Furious but, in fact, did nothing.
Why?
Because they agree with the Democrat agenda
. (More aptly described as The Statist Agenda
.)
Look at how the Republicans failed to take advantage of the no-lose situation of attacking the NSA after Snowden's reveal. (At worst they would have failed at abolishing the NSA, yet had something to point to saying See, we are upholding the Constitution
and garnered a lot of political capital — instead they sat on their hands, spoke from both sides of their mouth, and did nothing.)
Ir the IRS political targeting. (Again, many Democrats know that these tactics can be used on them too; Nixon did it — smacking the IRS down would only have generated positive political capital.)
Look at how, after gaining a landslide victory
they backpedal on repeal of ObamaCare.
So, why then didn't they capitalize on these no-lose scenarios?
Because the moment they would have appeared to do something they would have been pressured into following through — moreover, their fellow congressmen [on both sides of the aisle] would be pressured to act.
They are statists and cannot bear the thought of harming their god: government.
What!?
