See the sidebar slideshow accompanying this article for screen captures of all documents referred to in this column. At the very least, as with “Project Gunwalker,” they indicate straw purchased guns ended up in crime traces, something those directing surveillance were well aware of. It also indicates the FBI and ATF were once again involved with allowing transactions rejected by NICS to proceed, indicating this practice could be more widespread than has been previously documented, and not confined to Southwest border operations.

WOW! If this report is accurate, and no reason to think it isn't, this means ATF can't pretend that what happened out of Phoenix in the SouthWest was some sort of unauthorized rogue operation. This HAD to be known at the top.

And what other parts of the country did the ATF command that the guns be allowed to walk into the hands of criminals?

I’ve read this. It’s huge. But I wish for an acceptable source I could post on facebook to largely non-political friends.

From the very start, I always thought this was the BATF’s version of the “Reichstag Fire”.

What were Holder and obama’s handlers THINKING, to promugate this on our society????

What are “they” NOT willing to do, to nullify, eliminate or re-write parts of the US Constitution with which “they” do not agree????

wide spread subversion of the system to facilitate crisis to enable public supported changes to society

Man, these people are wacko radicals of the worst kind

They should be criminally responsible for enabling a criminal to obtain a gun ...... In our law, police officers do not have immunity, they clearly say that someone who knowingly enables a criminal to obtain a gun is an accessory after the fact.

If they aren’t charged now, I expect the next Attn General to.....this is BS.

Note to newcomers to this story: “Project Gunrunner” is the name ATF assigned to its Southwest Border Initiative to interdict gun smuggling to Mexico. “....This obfuscation. Bush’s DOJ was originally trying to find the extent of US arms going to Mexico. They reportedly said there is no “Iron Pipeline” and began to disassemble the operation. Holder and Obama figured if there is no Iron Pipeline, we will facilitate or make one to use as action to stop all selling of guns and ammo in the US.

I posted months ago that, anecdotally, dealers across the nation are reporting that they were also forced by BATFE to conduct purchases to straw buyers who failed NICS.

Someone needs to get dealers nationwide to report such forced sales to a single source (other than gov’t) such as the NSSF so we can create a record of where these sales were taking place and their frequency.

OK so...

1. F&F was in Arizona, Florida, and now Indiana —yet there was no, “national operation”

2. 3 WH officials knew, but Obama/Holder did NOT know

3. 200 Mexican cops and 2 US officers died

4. A helicopter was shot down with a .50

5. A casino was burned

I’d say this is JAIL TIME for POTUS, or Holder at least.

These communists thought they could put the skids to our 2nd Amendment rights ‘under the radar’ because they thought the gunshop owners would be too scared of losing their license to rat on them.

Then the crackhead adolescents themselves started making demands on the gun shop owners who hired lawyers to remind them that they DID REPORT and the criminals were cleared by NCIS.

These illogical idiots screwed up their own damned ‘under the radar’ plan!

Jail them all, they are criminals! Not to mention freaking communists, and enemies of We The People!

“And what other parts of the country did the ATF command that the guns be allowed to walk into the hands of criminals?”

I believe that it has also been reported to have taken place in Florida and Georgia.

This whole thing was developed to discredit gun dealers and enhance gun violence. This was not to trace guns to the drug cartels (nobody was tracing anything). This would shift public opinion to get gun control in effect before they attempted to take over the country, cancel the 2012 election, disbanded congress, and set up a revolutionary government.

Before: Fail 2 cooperate, and you are jailed.

Now: Fail 2 cooperate, u r jailed. But if you DO cooperate, you’ll be jailed, later.

Why do they act like this? Because the left’s view is that we aren’t simply misguided, but instead that we KNOW we are wrong and that we’re KNOWINGLY choosing EVIL.

Because of that, they feel that special measures like F&F are JUSTIFIED. They regret getting caught, sure —that slows them down. But they do NOT feel guilt —they see their efforts as IDEALISTIC.

So the administration that has been selling guns to Mexican Drug Cartels and American Gang Bangers, just had one of its Union Thugs, a son of a gangster, declare war on peaceful Americans who just want spending to be cut. Obama is making Chavez look like a reasonable person.
