Where, Oh where is the media on this important story?
I know, they're busy reading Sarah Palin's e-Mails.

Just exactly how do they know that the gun that shot giffords wasn’t one of the guns they pushed?
Just how?
Cuz if they know, then they know something about the guns they did push out there.

I noticed that yesterday as one of many points in a document someone posted. No one seemed to pick up on it then, so I’m glad it got singled out for a story. If they indeed feared that, it might partially explain the rush to place blame elsewhere.
To: Principled
The testimony from the agents yesterday estimated that 1/3 of all the guns “walked” was specifically bought for a user on the U.S. side of the border. That amounted to an estimated 600 to 800 guns given to known criminals for distribution into the U.S. Was this gun one of them? What was the serial number? Who was it originally sold to? Was it one of the known “straw” buyers the agents followed but were not allowed to stop

The dealers need to get together, via the NSSF, to produce a list of all the firearms sold at the BATFEs insistence to known gun smugglers.
Fast & Furious is directly responsible for the death of over 150 human beings.....nobody died from Watergate.

Heck. They all said it was Sarah Palin’s fault!

This thread has just added to the
FreeRepublic "bang list" (firearms interest list) by adding the keyword "banglist".
Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it. Just a suggestion.

Even more important, what did Napolitano know and when did SHE know it?
SHE was the Governor of Arizona right before heading to Washington under Obama.
She also said:
There is a perception that the border is worse now than it ever has been, Napolitano said. That is wrong. The border is better now than it ever has been.
Its also wrong, Napolitano said, that the drug-related violence in northern Mexico is spilling over into U.S. border cities. Violent crime rates in cities in the Southwest have stayed flat or fallen, she said. At the same time, she acknowledged, there is much to do with colleagues in Mexico in respect to the drug cartels.

Border is better than ever, yet she didn't KNOW that Fast and Furious was going on? We truly have clueless showpieces at the top levels of Fed Gov with a whole lot of unelected second-tier "staffers" running the show.

Just exactly how do they know that the gun that shot giffords wasnt one of the guns they pushed? Here's the part that I don't follow: This operation was about certain gun dealers being authorized to see guns to people who were allegedly known or suspected to be straw-purchasers for the Mexican cartels. That's the official line, anyway. So although which guns were actually involved is something the Feds should know... this is also about the "straw purchasers". Was Loughner on their list of people to sell to?
Hmm. Sounds like they're making this stuff up as they go.

From the article:
The gun allegedly used by Loughner was not purchased under the guidance of the program, according to law enforcement sources.
Not exactly a definitive answer on this question is it?
But then again, its not like they would LIE to us or something.

Are they going to jail the final owner of the gun, even if he bought it legitimately through another store?

“Napolitano said. That is wrong. The border is better now than it ever has been.
How odd. I don't remember any signs in Arizona or elsewhere that warned of unsafe areas during the terms of Eisenhower, Kennedy ....etc. I do recall reading that illegals self-deported during Eisenhower's term, because he actually believed in actively enforcing the immigration laws.

Had Pima County Sheriff Clarence W. Dupnik provided security for the Gifford event, instead of chasing political boogeymen, lives could have been saved.
