The ATF operation was intended to build cases against Mexican drug cartels by allowing firearms to go from the United States into Mexico.

That, of course, is complete BS. The ATF operation was intended to build the case for expanding limitations on the rights of US citizens to purchase and own firearms.

I thought that once too, That the whole thing was to give Obama a chance to tak a shot at the 2nd. Amendment. Now I am not so sure.

I believe now that Obama’s shot at the 2nd. Amendment was just a happy happenstance of supplying the Cartels with guns, and that the drug deals and money paid off to American CIA and who knows who in American politics was the real reason.

I believe this thing if properly investigatd goes to the top and will make Watergate look like a Grade school field trip.

You are of course correct. One wonders if CCN’s reporter is just stupid or is he and CCN complicit in the attempt to void the Second Amendment. I believe the second proposition is the case.

You say - and we know - that:”That, of course, is complete BS. The ATF operation was intended to build the case for expanding limitations on the rights of US citizens to purchase and own firearms.”

And even after his scheme was exposed, he still has the IN YOUR FACE gall to do JUST that TODAY with another of his fiats = ah, Executive Orders.

Didja all miss it? (worries me that even Freepers, who know the game, don't seem to be aware that he is not slowing down his plan even as the scandal is breaking all around him.)

He just pretends this is totally unconnected. And he knows 96% of America will swallow it.

“Through an Executive Order, the Obama administration is implementing new restrictions on the sale of certain weapons in border states, and increasing the penalties for violating certain firearms laws.”

...363 have been recovered in the United States and 227 have been recovered in Mexico... The ATF operation was intended to build cases against Mexican drug cartels...

363 guns recovered in the United States and 227 - a much smaller number in Mexico. Holder's enemy list seems to include: white middle class, middle aged men who cling to guns and religion; legal gun owners; the second amendment, and citizens who legally sell guns - oh and Mexican cartels ...
