I prefer the Goldilocks ‘just right’ .50 calibers.

Obama's ATF actions also encourage more illegal immigration into the US, as Mexican families try to escape the crime atmosphere.

Uh no, that's BS.

They come here for the free medical, welfare etc, and a U.S. government that kisses their butts at ever turn, while the American standard of living and our economy plummets...

It's why Parkland Hospital in Dallas if churning out nearly 1000 anchor babies per month, as the U.S. tax payers twist in the wind. This, in a so-called conservative state.

Obama won't Secure the border and gives speeches to LaRaza. Basically provides a welcome mat.

Did ya forget, Bush's Rove gave speeches at La Raza and Bush in 8 years made American citizenship all but pointless?

8 years of Bush and a conga-line of 10 million more illegal aliens just walked right in...During war time no less.

It's all political D vs R, bull cheet.

It's all a choreographed charade, as the audience of fools applaud.

Who does BATF answer to these days: Dept of Justice, Treasury, or CIA?

I know it has gone back and forth over the years. (I am currently reading Gordon Liddy’s autobiography “WILL”, and am on the chapter about his days as a “Treasury agent”.)

“Botched”? Nope, it did what they wanted it to. The only “botching” are the whistleblowers.

You bet.

The government had to know, if they cut loose thousands of guns to be taken into the black hole of Mexico, the U.S. government would be exposed at some point, as the perpetrators of this lunacy.

Didn't the government think this would backfire on them? How could they have hatched this scheme and not expected this to blow up in their faces?

Did they actually think they could use violence down in Mehico, to blame it "easy" access of American guns?

How stupid are these people running government?

The ATF did remember to plant the GPS tracking devices in the guns, didn’t they?

/s (as if its needed)

Those are probably meant for U.S. citizens.

Besides, those are likely the size of a small cell phone, and wouldn't be practical, and cartels sweep stuff for electronic surveillance anyway.

Besides they likely had no intention of tracking them anyway.

The real questions are:

1. The government didn't know if they cut loose thousands of guns which were taken into the black hole of Mexico, they'd be exposed at some point as the perpetrators of this lunacy?

2. Did they actually think they could concoct this scheme and use violence down in Mexico, to blame it on "easy" access to American guns?

This is laughable in an insane way.
