LAKE JACKSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, 2012 GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul commented on the recent revelations about the federal government’s botched program to track gun sales. See statement below.
“The ATF has a long history of abusing our Second Amendment rights, so I was glad to see Congressman Issa demanding answers on the Project “Gunwalker”
“The ATF has a long history of abusing our Second Amendment rights, so I was glad to see Congressman Issa demanding answers on the Project “Gunwalker” scandal.
“My hope is that the recent hearing will further expose the ATF's and Attorney General Eric Holder's assaults on law-abiding gun owners, and more people will start questioning the need for unconstitutional agencies like the ATF that exist solely to infringe on American citizens' God-given right to keep and bear arms.”
We need to see H0lder’s hide hangin’ on the shed, Fred.
I wish they would stop treating it like a screw up. It was an intentional criminal act and the only thing they botched was keeping it hidden.
When he speaks on Second Amendment or Pro Life issues I never find anything to disagree with him on.
[ Ron Paul is right on many issues. ]
Just keep him away from Foreign policy!
I might actually vote for Paul if it was Paul/Bolton.
ATF has always been an out of control renegade government agency. I say disband the agency and let the FBI or marshal’s service take up their legitimate duties
Which one am I supposed to look at?
Bingo!
This was bribery and nothing less....please do not pee upon my feet and tell me it’s raining.
The border states have been cracking down on this Mexican crap and...tada....the Mexican drug lords are a little short on needed guns.
Mexico, heh...a nothing burger country populated by small brained people who have done nothing with that beautiful rich land God gave them but send their citizens to America to send money back home, to supply the planet with drugs....with a few tourist attractions thrown in amongst the kidnappings and killings.
So Eric Holder....the WORST AG this country has ever had, bar none....a symbol of total shame he is....is promised a few bucks in an off-shore account, a few more bucks for Obamer’s campaign upcoming....JUST GET US SOME MORE GUNS!
Let’s hope this opposition party goes after this big time.
I’m in admiration of Issa but he needs the rest of the party to back him.
An American citizen on our border was killed with guns smuggled to Mexico, intentionally and for money, by our own head of American law......
The pubs....they gotta risk mussing head hairs and quit reaching across the damn aisle.
This is grounds for impeachment but you’ll never find Obamer’s name on it. If the pubs keep at it, we might be able to get Holder....awful, awful man.
I would like Ron Paul to be president for a day.
Ron Paul is a jackass.
It’s not “gunwalker”. It’s not even “Gunrunner”.
Here’s a free clue for jackasses.
Gunrunner was started under Bush. It tracked straw buyers, arrested them and seized the weapons.
Fast and Furious was started under Obama. It tracked straw buyers, did NOT arrest them and did NOT seize the weapons.
You are correct. Nothing zero and his goons do is unintentional. They know exactly what they are doing and it is to destroy our 2nd Amendment rights....actually all our rights “Under God”. That is why they keep leaving out those words (intentionally) to help people forget that it isn’t government that is the source of all our rights.
Can imagine how the media would be portraying this if it had happened under Bush?
I like Ron Paul. Sure some of his positions get a bit odd, but overall, he would leave us off a lot better than if we get romney, Huntsman or some other RINO
And completely looney tunes on so many others.
Still, it is nice of him to get on board.
Precisely.
Murder will out! Chaucer
I would go so far as to say that it was a criminal act with a treasonous act being the ultimate goal.
Well said!
So, Obozo’s Reichstag fire backfired on him. It would behoove us if there were really a party in opposition to the negro nazi party in power in the US.
The so called “republican” party will not rock the boat enough to dare risk losing their power.
The 1990s taught us that the ruling republicrat oligarchy has no interest in really punishing corrupt presidential regimes. It’s just a show to make us think the rule of law still exists in America.
I don’t know if its possible but congress needs to refuse to seat a new ATF appointee sent by Obama and choose one of their own to investigate from the inside.
