It’s only a hunch, but the guns “sold” to Mexican drug families in Fast and Furious may have been paid for by drug money contributed to US political campaigns...
I’ve wondered about that too.
I’ve long thought that pouring weapons to the drug cartels wasn’t really about gun control, as many believe. Oh, that could be a nice side benefit to the Obama thugs, but I believe the real reason is that Holder, Obama and Company got big contributions for it, because the cartels have money, and lots of it. And to trade some of it for weapons and a “blind eye” towards the border would be good business policy for them. We should never underestimate the corruption of Obama and Holder.
