[The Magical Mischief Tour]

Project Gun Walker, also known by the case name “Fast and Furious” and “Operation Gunrunner,” was a plan in which the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives would deliberately allow guns into the hands of Mexican drug cartels, in order to “see where all the guns ended up, build a big case, and take down a cartel,”

Actually it was a deliberate act to allow guns into the hands of the cartels in order for the BATF to blame US gun shops. And declare war in gun sales, gun owners and the 2 A altogether, anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot...

You only have to look at the results to come to the conclusion that it was always about our right of self-defense.

There seems to be a lot more activity in trying to use this issue to take out the 2nd amendment than to take out the cartels.

Someone had some interesting speculation on one of the other sites out there.

They were speculating as to whether this type of gunwalking could have taken place in the southeastern states and Tucson in particular.

It was sort of along the lines of why wait for a crisis when you can create one?

That is my guess too.

They wanted to find as many U.S. guns as possible in Mexico even if they had to provide them, or at least encourage their “walking” into Mexico.

That's commonly know as a conspiracy to viloate our civil rights under color of law...punishible by incarceration, (preferably in a Mexican prison)
