The gunwalking story has never been mentioned on either NBC Nightly News or the Today show, Geoffrey Dickens reports in a Feb. 8 Media Research Center Reality Check piece.
Perhaps thats not quite fair. After all, MSNBCs Politics Nation with Al Sharpton gave Rep. Elijah Cummings unchallenged time to make his case that the congressional Fast and Furious investigation is an election-year witch hunt against Eric Holder by Republicans, gunwalking was George Bushs fault, and the real problem is we need more gun control.
So leave it to Today to send national investigative correspondent Jeff Rossen to Phoenix of all places, and rather than say word one about Gunwalker, instead perform the same sham straw purchase media stunt thats already gotten no traction when unabashed anti-gun activists pulled it. And note they always do it where its nice and safe, and no real illegal transfers actually get recorded, as opposed to going undercover where theyll meet real dangerous criminals and terrorists, like on domestic urban gang turf, or better yet, in Ciudad Juárez.
The truth of the matter: There are no internet gun sales. Sure. people can advertise there, just as they can in newspaper classified ads, but the transactions take place in person and federal law already states prohibited persons cant buy guns, prohibits interstate sales without federal firearms licensees processing transfers, and if a private seller knows or has reason to believe a buyer may not legally purchase a gun, they may not lawfully proceed with the sale. Its right there in U.S. Code.

That would be a good start. Four ATF field agents testify under oath that they "never even heard of intentionally letting guns "walk" before F&F."

Look up a video from 2009 w assistant AG David Ogden. He made it very clear that they were going to go well beyond wide receiver.
NBC is just a small part of 0bama's cheering section.
