Take for example my wife, she is rock ribbed conservative and loathes Obama but she just does not get the seriousness and enormity of this. She doesn't get excited and doesn't care. And this is from a woman who is ready to go to jail before she will pay into Obamacare. I try and explain it to her, how some of the purchasers were felons and yet passed a NIC check which is run by the FBI and had to be subverted at the very top and her eyes glaze over and she says "that's nice but we need to cut spending now!"
Sigh. So some flunky goes under the bus while Obama, Holder and Breuer plot their next "Reichstag moment" in their assault on the Second Amendment unimpeded.
If I had money to play with I'd bet you.
The ATF has said that there are still over 1,400 guns unaccounted for in Mexico, there were a 1,000 guns "walked" to Honduras and other Central American countries. That is a lot of guns and every time some show up at the scene of a murder/shootout there will be new press about it. Especially if more LE agents are murdered with them. Especially if Hezbollah in Mexico gets a hold of some and murders some Americans with them.
This story has the potential to re-surface afresh for a decade with all those arms out there.

Explain it to her this way: Fast and Furious is/was a legitimate act of war.
Now, if the ATF is a incompetent agency committing Acts of War, and nothing comes to pass, then what guarantee do we have that they (or some other government agency) will not take us to war?
And if the ATF *was* authorized, then we have a bonafied conspiracy against Constitutional rights/protections, as ONLY the Congress can [legitimately] start (declare) a war.
