Now they've been exposed. Many people died and the Piper demands payment.
Yeah, the ultimate goal was more gun control, but there was a whole lot more to it than that.
First of all, the Obama administration and a lot of those in the Democrat party have a grudge against Arizona that they aren’t going to soon forget. They hate AZ for resisting the MLK holiday for so long. AZ just didn’t have very many Black people. Napolitano fixed that by inviting bus load after bus load of Katrina victims to Phoenix (probably other AZ cities, as well) and inviting them to stay and they are still there. When the Obama justice dept. accuses the AZ law enforcement of profiling, they are thinking Black, not Hispanic.
The Obama administration also used the guns as an excuse not to enforce the border regulations, pointing at AZ and saying that the gun violence is your own fault for having such lax gun control laws.
