dragnet2: “When media starts doing their nightly news, and connects or alleges all these dead people were killed with U.S. guns, it's an excuse for a controlling U.S. Government to enact much stricter gun laws.”

Ah, now I understand, and there's the rub. That's exactly the sort of devious thing a leftist would do, because we know winning is the only thing that matters to them. How one wins, to them, is irrelevant so long as one wins. Unfortunately, no one can prove (at this time) this was the Obama Administration's goal. We know they hate guns. That's a given. It's also probably not difficult to prove they let American guns fall into Mexican hands. What is difficult is proving the end goal.

I'm all for informing people, but I don't see what we can do about this politically at this time. President Obama does what he wants. The only recourse is impeachment, which the senate will never support.

I’m not sure impeachment is the only option.

Impeachment covers his political status as President. But if he commits a crime, he’s no different then you or I or anybody else. He can still be charged in the courts, afaik.

“””Unfortunately, no one can prove (at this time) this was the Obama Administration’s goal.”””

On July 12, 2011, Sen. Grassley and Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., wrote Attorney General Eric Holder, whose Justice Department oversees ATF. They asked Holder whether officials in his agency discussed how “Fast and Furious could be used to justify additional regulatory authorities.”

So far, they have not received a response. CBS News asked the Justice Department for comment and context on ATF emails about Fast and Furious and Demand Letter 3, but officials declined to speak with us.

“In light of the evidence, the Justice Department’s refusal to answer questions about the role Operation Fast and Furious was supposed to play in advancing new firearms regulations is simply unacceptable,” Rep. Issa told CBS News.
