As Democrats and Left-wing “progressive” anti-gun activists continue to push for gun bans and other erosions of the Second Amendment following the terrible mass shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday, it is well to remember that, once upon a time, a pair of notable Democrats did their best to ensure that kind of violence occurred as often as possible south of the U.S. border.
Early in President Obama’s tenure, he and Attorney General Eric Holder cooked up a scheme to send thousands of U.S.-based “assault weapons” — that is, semi-automatic rifles which cosmetically resemble real assault weapons — into the hands of Mexican drug cartels. The goal was to ensure the guns led to maximum death and carnage so that the Obama administration could then push for far stricter gun control laws that included complete bans on certain weapons.
The operation was called “Fast and Furious,” and it was run by an agency that answered to Holder Justice Department, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
As reported by the New York Post, the operation was a Department of Justice-run program that allowed thousands of rifles including .50-caliber rifles with a range of nearly two miles and powerful enough to take down a helicopter to be sold to the cartels, allegedly so they could be “tracked” back to the illegal drug-running operations.
However, the Post noted, “internal documents later revealed the real goal was to gin up a crisis requiring a crackdown on guns in America.
“Fast and Furious was merely a pretext for imposing stricter gun laws,” the Post noted — even if that meant scores of people would have to die in order to achieve the political objective of more gun control.
Talk about sick.

"Remember when Barack Obama and Eric Holder allowed guns to be put in the hands of Mexican drug cartels in order to cause maximum violence?"
“Bottom line: Obama and Holder purposely created a situation that led to the slaughter of scores of people, including at least one federal agent, for the sole purpose of subverting the Constitution’s Second Amendment.”
“What disgusting treachery.”
Fast & Furious bump for later...
My (likely) Socialist/Communist brother, who lives in Oregon, answered ‘a movie’, when I asked if he had heard of Fast and Furious. A good swath of America has heard NO DAMAGING NEWS ABOUT OBAMA, ET AL. Period. He didn’t believe me when I told him what Fast and Furious really was.
How likely is it that you can
1) be a radical anti-American communist extremist during your college years
2) never renounce this strong belief system
3) and then not still act on this belief system when you occupy the White House?
After that massacre in LV, I was telling my daughter about this, had the general picture but forgot the details of how they did it. I thought it also involved a sting of near-the-border gun dealers, also forgot the name and details about our agent who was slain and where all the guns turned up.
I can look it all up if not in this article. It's rather timely.
From the novel, “Collateral Crimes”:
Roberts had let it slip, and it made Valdo wonder: If the ATF was using this guy, why would Roberts be hijacking the load? And why was the ATF shipping guns in the first place? Was this a sting operation?”

But, but Kimmy Jimmel says its the conservative’s fault.
I sense Holder’s fingerprints on a lot of what is currently going on.
Someone should check to see if the Vegas shooters guns came from Holder.
As I recall the plan was to get guns in the hands of Mexican gangsters as proof that America needed tighter gun control because American gun sellers were selling guns to Mexican gangsters!
The problem was that it was a false narrative and the government had to force gun sellers to break the law and allow the guns to be sold to......
(WAIT FOR IT)
Mexican gangsters!
F&F was a program cynically designed to result in Mexican deaths - so that 'evil' US-sourced guns could be found at the crime scenes and US gun laws could be blamed for the carnage. Holder, Napolitano, Hillary and Obama and a host of their minions cooked up this program knowing that Mexicans would die - in fact, needing Mexicans to die for this scheme to work. The Obama administration was cynically willing to slaughter Hispanics to accomplish their political purposes.
Should have been impeached and sent to prison. That was another nail in the coffin of the rule of law.
Many somebodies should have gone to prison over supplying guns to Mexican Cartels.
Everyone inside the Kenyanesian Usurpation was safe from the consequences of their crimes because everyone in the District of Corruption was complicit in the violation of the Constitution.
Unfortunately, the foot note that the Senate was controlled by Harry Reed and the Democratic Party never gets stated. Why? Because if is not in the talking points to blame all evil on the Republican Party.
I think we should start saying that the Democratic party is the party of death with blood on their hands.
