NRA's LaPierre: 'Fast and Furious' Was Plot Against Second Amendment
Newsmax ^ | 14 Oct 2011 | Martin Gould and Ashley Martella

Posted on 10/17/2011 9:02:54 AM PDT by neverdem

The government-sanctioned gunrunning operation Fast and Furious was a plot to undermine Second Amendment rights in the United States, National Rifle Association officer 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.’

“That was a phony figure from the very start. Even the Wikileaks cables from our own State Department prove they are coming from Central America, they are not coming from the U.S. Every police officer will tell you that they’re coming from Russia, they’re coming from China, most of them are coming from Central America and a lot of them are coming from defections from the Mexican Army,” said LaPierre, the NRA's executive vice president and CEO.

But LaPierre said that President Barack Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were determined to make it appear that most weapons used by the Mexicans came from north of the border, “so they could stick more gun legislation on honest American gun owners of the United States.”

--snip--

“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.”

Mentioning Hillary Clinton is smart, as she could be the nominee. Ralph Nader has said Obama should be primaried. Obama could do a LBJ and withdraw from running rather than lose.

Gee... Ya’ think? That’s our Wayne. Slow on the uptake but he does get there eventually.

Well, my first response would be “No sh*t Sherlock!”... But, I guess those of us have seen this for 1/2 a year are just aching for the truth to get out.

I want to see Mr. Obama impeached and imprisoned.

Treason.

It’s a word and it has a meaning.

I'm glad to see LaPierre finally address this. I remember when he got in Clinton's face, saying that Bubba's administration needed a certain amount of gun-related violence in order to further an agenda. Slick got quite put out by those comments, but Wayne stood his ground.

It'll be interesting to see what sort of response is offered this time. Given the situation (and the real crimes committed), I suspect they'll clam up.

That is exactly the Clinton-Soros-Obama Plan and IMNSHO has been since day 1. Obama's job was to get the Socialist ball rolling, take the heat, gin up claims of "racism," against the opposition and to thereby set the table for Hillary, an equally committed and one whole Hell of a lot smarter Marxist, to consolidate the "gains."

Think about it. Hillary gets 50-55% of the women, 90% of the Blacks. Heavy Jew and Latino support. Bingo ...could work!

Indeed, it is great to see that “the peter” is finally on board with what most of us identified was the case 6 or 8 months ago. Sure wish someone other than the choir was listening, though.

It is the only thing that makes sense! I can't believe that they could be that stupid. If true, Obama is going to be impeached!

The NRA has been covering F&F since March. I get America’s First Freedom magazine from them, and it’s been on their radar for some time.

The NRA, and specifically LaPierre, are very careful with what they say to the public. Wayne oftentimes sits on something for months until he has all of the pieces to make a cogent message. Otherwise, the NRA would be torn apart by the likes of the VPC and other anti-gun organizations.

The NRA is not looking at the big picture here. Obama had several ambitions in "Fast and Furious".

Knowing that he no longer controlled the House and therefore could not possibly get anti-gun legislation through Congress he sought, instead, to "compromise" border state gun dealers so that he could have a bunch of prosecutions. At the same time the ATF was building its files on identifying the gun smugglers themselves ~ which gave the Obama Regime a chance to better protect their "real friends" . Prosecuting the dealers would put them out of business and unable to supply arms and AMMUNITION to US citizens in the South West.

Finally, he was able to put several thousand (maybe 25,000 to 50,000 semi-automatic fire long guns into the hands of his friends in the Mexican Northern border states.

There's his NON DOD military force!~

Chavez of Venezuela did something similar by arming FARC in Columbia. When the time came he had them to occupy the Venezuelan government while he took over the country.

Again, the intention was to limit the flow of guns to Americans in the SW, build a small army in Northern Mexico beholden to Obama personally, and then overthrow the civil structure of the US government through force of arms.

Which, BTW, explains why Obama is piling on war after war that requires ever more forward involvement by US military forces. It is conceivable that he could disable the US military from defending the US by being tied up in crazy places like the middle of primitive continental areas like Afghanistan, Uganda, and maybe Southern Argentina!

Pierre is nuts if he thinks Obama is just going after the Second Amendment. This guy (or actually his handlers) is going after the whole enchilada.

Maybe the Jewish vote would be less for Hillary than we think. Maybe a miracle will occur, and this time the MSM will report about Hillary’s “f**cking Jew bastard” statement that was squelched when Bubba ran.

I doubt that it’s just that they’re figuring it out.
It’s just that the commies that are behind all leftist policy agendas are very clever in demonizing and marginalizing anyone that actually points out the motives behind the leftist agenda.

So, it’s not that they just found it. It’s that they finally got the balls to tell the truth.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think Big Racist Media would allow even a half-black president to be impeached, unless they were briefed on and support race riots in the streets, and I don’t see public violence in the big cities supporting Hillary.

Not only is Wayne slow, but he comes out with this on NEWSMAX. If Wayne was positioning the largest gun owner group in the country properly his 4 million members would have seen this on the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal.

Such small thinkers sometime.

I do understand why Mr. LaPierre waits for the right time. It is hard to deal with, but I do “get” it.

Hope he brands President Obama “Quisling” next go round.

One can hope.

Yes, mentioning Hillary is smart, as her office is probably the source of this gambit. Issa needs to subpoena James Stinberg asap.
