Let's call it what it really was: a failed attempt at drumming up support for and justification of further anti-gun laws to disarm the citizens of these United States of America.
It is more than a failed policy, it’s all about the USA enabling/sponsoring mass murders.
When Sec. Clinton’s first act was to meet with the President of Mexico and apologize for US guns ending up in his country instead of complaining about drugs from his country ending up in our country — then you know that it was a planned course of action decided in a Cabinet meeting at the White House and she was not acting on her own.
