Scandal: Rather than a botched attempt to catch criminals, was the ATF program actually an attempt to advance gun-control efforts by an administration that has blamed Mexican violence on easy access to U.S. weapons?
If "Operation Fast and Furious" was merely a botched attempt at law enforcement, why was a supervisor of the operation, David Voth, "jovial, if not, not giddy but just delighted about" marked guns showing up at crime scenes in Mexico, as career Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent John Dodson told Rep. Darrell Issa's House Oversight Committee?
Perhaps because all was going as planned until it was learned that two of the AK-47s recovered at the scene of the fatal shooting of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry in December were bought in ATF's Operation Fast and Furious. That wasn't supposed to happen.
"Allowing loads of weapons that we knew to be destined for criminals this was the plan," Dodson testified to the panel. "It was so mandated."
ATF agent Olindo James Casa said that "on several occasions I personally requested to interdict or seize firearms, but I was always ordered to stand down and not to seize the firearms."
Yet, as we've noted, gun-tracking operations stopped at the border. That seems odd if the purpose was to catch gun traffickers and their drug-lord bosses. It makes sense, however, if the real purpose was to perpetuate, in the interests of pursuing the administration's gun-control agenda, what Bob Owens of Pajamas Media calls the "90% lie."

Sounds like we may have a good comeback when the liberals spew about Iran-Contra.
The scenario has now been posed. It will be interesting to see if it has any legs.
Mabye this is what Obama meant when he said that gun control was being promoted “under the radar.”
Calderon is collaborating with the American antigunners, this is all a planned and scripted production.

Yes and I’m certain of it. I’m also certain the Holder was in the loop and I can’t believe that Holder would do this without Obama’s quiet approval.
Tyrants cannot implement their brutal “solutions” when their enemies are still armed.
If you know the type of people the dims are then you know the answer to this question is yes. Democrat, the party of miscreants.
