I have wondered about the Texas connection for some time. It would seem to be a another gunwalking operation, separate from Fast and Furious.

Great article. Yes, we know that Obamajaad ordered it and funded it with Stimulus money.

Also evidence is starting to trickle in that those same dollars are sending guns to terrorists in Libya.

The BATFE needs to hang for this. Maybe not the foot soldiers, but those giving these illegal orders need to go.

Carter’s Country was the model to be used by Obama and the MSM.

Carter’s Country is a chain of sporting goods stores around the country that sells firearms.

Do a search for “Washington Post and Carter’s Country” and you will find that the media (WaPo) was doing the BATFE’s bidding by lambasting Carter’s Country as the source for weapons flowing into Mexico. This continued through a series of “investigative” articles that were nothing more than BATFE lies printed verbatim by the WaPo.

Of course, the WaPo story was picked up by papers all across the nation.

Carter’s Country was dragged through the mud as the primary source of firearms in Mexico until their attorney proved the stores were actually cooperating with BATFE on every case and were only allowing sales to proceed when the BATFE told them to do so.

The WaPo printed a 1 paragraph statement that was buried.

This shows how the BATFE could work with gun stores behind the scenes to sell firearms to straw buyers while blaming them in public for the “iron river” of guns flowing into Mexico and that an unquestioning MSM would run with the story nationwide.

I've also heard of a Florida "connection," in a BATFE operation called "Operation Castaway," which was pretty much identical to F&F, except they funneled guns to MS-13 in Honduras...

Yes, there was a story of someone being stopped with a load of guns traveling south in Texas, just out of San Antonio. Those on the thread thought the whole thing was very suspicious...a lot of guns and the car happened to be stopped...
