there is absolutely NO comparison
You’re absolutely right.
I still believe that this was an attempt by the government to implicate legal gun sales in drug cartel murders, thus trying to justify more regulations and restrictions on gun ownership inside the US. Chasing after the drug cartels was secondary at most.
Well of course ,Leftist Idiots are involved in this.
I agree. There’s nothing the ATF would like more than to severely restrict or even prohibit private gun ownership.
He'll say that the agents, who, after all, were holdovers from the Bush administration, "acted stupidly."
“Gunrunner was an attempt to develop enough gun-running evidence to bring down a cartel, and instead supplied thousands of arms to drug cartels locked in a life-or-death struggle with a key U.S. ally and trading partner.”
I hope Issa gets to the bottom of this, however Mexico is not an ally. Anything that we give to Mexico will come back to hurt us.
And to demoralize AZ to boot.
Napolitano (the anti-Arizona Arizonan) is likely in on this as well.
Imagine if 0bama sold arms to Iran and used the money to fund a rebel army in South America. Would you say that was a bigger deal than ATF allowing lots of guns to hit the streets?
Dismantle the ATF. Alcohol Tobacco Explosives and Firearms sounds like a typical weekend back home - or a damn fine bait shop - it shouldn't be a federal agency.
There is only one reason the lefties did this: To put the blame on American gun dealers for selling guns to the Mexicans. They claimed so many firearms going across the border but the real numbers didn’t add up, so in order to push their radical anti-gun agenda they made up their own scandal. Back fired on them though, didn’t it. Every official involved in this down to the lowest agent and up to the top of the heap should be headed for jail.
I’d bet you’re right but I doubt it can all be attributed to the Bush abmin.
It’s going to be interesting to see how long Holder will be able last, I’d bet money he’s into this up to his neck.
“Gunrunner was an attempt to develop enough gun-running evidence to bring down a cartel,”
Horse dung and we all know it.
It gave Obama the chance to tell stupid Americans who don’t know any better ,that American guns from gun shows and gun stores that had no integrity were selling guns to Mexicans.
We know now that these stores were the first ones to report this to the ATF, who under Obama’s direction allowed this atrociy to happen. We need a new “honest” ‘truthful’ Non-Muslim President.
Bump
Wow, the rare article that gets every single statement about guns correct.
“I still believe that this was an attempt by the government to implicate legal gun sales in drug cartel murders, thus trying to justify more regulations and restrictions on gun ownership inside the US”
That’s EXACTLY what this was all about. They had a narrative that they wanted to prove but didn’t have the facts so they tried to create them.
“You tell me which is worse.”
Oh definitely Gunrunner IMO, and especially if we add in the part you (the author) didn’t mention which would be about the gun grabbing aspect, or intent of operation “GunWalker”.
