Plot Against Second Amendment
Newsmax ^ | 10/15/2011 | Martin Gould and Ashley Martella

Posted on 10/15/2011 9:39:41 AM PDT by New Jersey Realist

The government-sanctioned gunrunning operation, Fast and Furious, was a plot to undermine Second Amendment rights in the United States, National Rifle Association president Wayne LaPierre charged on Friday in an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV.

“It’s the only thing that makes any sense,” LaPierre said. “Over a period of two or three years they were running thousands and thousands of guns to the most evil people on earth. At the same time they were yelling ’90 per cent… of the guns the Mexican drug cartels are using come from the United States.’

This was obvious from the minute I heard about it. Whay hasn’t Wayne LaPierre been all over the media publicizing this from the beginning?

Agreed. This is a plot against the Constitution and every person involved who EVER swore an oath to that Constitution is in violation of their oath. People should hang for this treason.

It will be interesting to hear the spin when the MSM finally gets around to discussing the motivation of the ATF in flooding Mexico with guns. It seems like "tracking the guns" was just a cover story since absolutely no effort was made to actually track the guns once they were sold.

Creating a crisis is the MO of this administration and the only explanation that makes any sense.

I suspect that most of us suspected an ulterior motive when the news of F&F first broke. The bozos that cooked this up have been suspected of dirty tricks for a long time before F&F.

Look out how the AP is reporting it. Every mention describes it as a “Bush era program”. Eventually they will accidentally “out” the administration on this.

“Our job is to protect the Second Amendment and that means that every gun owner, every Second Amendment supporter needs to do everything they can to make sure that President Obama does not get a second term so that he can destroy the Second Amendment.

“This is the most dangerous election in our lifetime for the Second Amendment freedom that American citizens have. A second term by President Obama will break the back of that freedom in this country.”

Well, it’s so nice to read this and other info that NRA is reporting on F&F, but if the threats to our liberties resulting from elections mean so much to LaPierre you’d think he’d quit supporting Reid and such.

A bunch of people and entities that I have little respect for, but who have extremely wide audiences, are now reporting on this in a crescendoing pattern, and that’s a good thing.

Makes me happy I went to a range with my wife yesterday (indoor pistol), am going to a different one today (outdoor rifle), and will be going to a gun show next week. I like to exercise my rights - so they don’t atrophy.

LOL!

Your ping list has been amazing, and I appreciate the humor you bring to it. My deepest thanks for all you’re doing. Enjoy your lunch!

The family of the murdered border patrol agent should file a civil lawsuit against Obama, Holder, Neopolitan now!!!

Mexico should file a criminal complaint against the same actors in the World Criminal Court...

"Agreed. This is a plot against the Constitution and every person involved who EVER swore an oath to that Constitution is in violation of their oath. People should hang for this treason."

How many active duty officers objected when Obama was illegally sworn-in as the commander-in-chief?

Here is a hint: He is still imprisoned at Ft. Leavenworth.

Does any legal expert out there know of any AZ state laws that were violated? If they were..then the state could start it’s own investigation.
The NRA could also give reward money to agents and dealers to disclose criminal acts by our Federal agents..stimulate some more whistle blowing.

This report below leaves our an important correction by one of the cited reporters which shows guns to Mexico were about 12% NOT 90% AND LEAVES OUT ANY MENTION OF FAST AND FURIOUS. WHERE ARE THE REPORTERS ON THIS? Colby Goodmans report of correction was originallyin April 2011 and before the Feinstein Report-Now Colby’s April report has disappeared from the internet.

I remember Obama talking about some gun-control options they were working on ‘under the radar’ not long before all of this broke.

I’m thinking that Fast & Furious is what he was referring to.

That question should be asked publically and frequently. Not looking for an answer (of course the answer will be a lie), but to keep connecting the two in the minds of Americans.
