U.S. Government Bought and Sold Weapons During 'Fast and Furious,' Documents Show
FoxNews.com ^ | 9/26/11 | William Lajeunesse

In June 2010, however, the ATF dramatically upped the ante, making the U.S. government the actual "seller" of guns.

According to documents obtained by Fox News, Agent John Dodson was ordered to buy four semi-automatic Draco pistols from the Lone Wolf gun store in Peoria, Ariz. An unusual sale, Dodson was sent to the store with a letter of approval from David Voth, an ATF group supervisor.

Dodson then sold the weapons to known illegal buyers, while fellow agents watched from their cars nearby.

We don’t want F&F to peak too soon.

A dozen or so guns sold would have been a botched and scrapped operation..but hundreds of guns is a clear attempt to effect political debate, not track gun traffic.

If this isn’t treason, I don’t know what is.

A criminal conspiracy to distibute automatic weapons to international drug cartels by the US ATTORNEY GENERAL and PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

Extradite them to Mexico to stand trial for the murder of over 200 people, or at minimu stand trial in front of the International Criminal Court which the libs always like to trumpet.

We want F&F to peak. Period. Get to the top of that food chain & incarcerate the perpetrators ASAP. It’s not that many levels, and the later it “peaks” the easier it will be for the perpetrators to walk.

I totally understand where you're coming from but procrastination in a situation like this for strictly political reasons is simply wrong. It's the kind of thing that we are trying to rid Washington of.

Maybe letting the Chicoms get tech secrects for campaign donations to the DNC?

Let’s get a”special” prosecutor, so we can bring this administration to justice like Ken Starr busted the Clinton Cartel!

Our government has become a bad joke on US.

This thread has just added to the FreeRepublic "bang list" (firearms interest list) by adding the keyword "banglist".

Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it. Just a suggestion.

I don't wanna start another thread on the Drudge headline, U.S. Government Used Taxpayer Funds to Buy, Sell Weapons During 'Fast and Furious,' Documents Show

But I did wanna comment on the idiocracy in the idea that "Taxpayer Funds" were used by the ATF for F&F! Where else exactly would the AFT get funds other than from tax payers?

Not hundreds but over 2000 guns literally enough to arm a marine regiment & now they literally were buying guns & reselling them to KNOWN CRIMINALS .We don’t have control of the weapons or an accounting of the funds received in the resale of those weapons ,for all we know somebodies 401K just got a boost.

If you or I had cooked this little scheme up we’d be looking at spending the rest of our lives behind bars.
