We have to do something to prevent criminals from getting those guns,” Feinstein said.

Well, for starters you could fire Holder.

Then put him on trial for illegal gun running and accessory to murder.

I am constitutionally sick of virtually every gun law that exists. All created by and for the ruling class.

I would like to reassign ATF/XYZ/TSA to the borders if we could trust them to serve the interests of us citizens.

And what clause of the Constitution would fedgov fraudulently use to put this into effect?

Yep, the Commerce Clause.

Sen. Feinstein doesn’t mind making money from guns, though.

Feinstein’s husband is war profiteer.

I really despise this politician. My Senator! She is so wrong. Obviously not “anyone can walk in and buy anything”. I have to wait 10 days for 1 gun every 30 days and fill out federal and state forms. In fact, the only reason we know about Gun Walker Fast & Furious is because the guns were registered. They tracked the serial numbers back to the purchaser, which happened to be criminals in our own government masquerading as honest people. For shame!

I wouldn’t be surprised if those numbers weren’t pretty close.

Because I get nervous about numbers that look politically generated I keep this link handy. This article is from earlier this year. It relates directly to the guns flooding Mexico from El Norte lie.

Sure wouldn't like the facts to get distorted in this battle.

This was always the goal of Fast and Furious. But, as with all bad crap coming out these days, was also done during the Bush administration.

NO MORE RINO’S!

Yeah, I’d seen that.

An M-16 stolen from a Mexican armory still has the “Made in U.S.A.” stamping so it originated here but it wasn’t sold by an Arizona FFL as Madam* Feinstein would have us believe.

*- I use the term “Madam” as a bawdy-house manager might.

if the US had gun laws and unarmed citizens like in Mexico the bad guys would still have guns, but the good guys wouldn’t how stupid can liberals be?

California already requires handgun and assault weapon registration and will start long gun registration Jan 2014.

Well, that will certainly fix most of the crime problems in California. It will free up jail space for white collar 1% corporate criminals, too.

“Of the 94,000 weapons that have been recovered from Mexico, 64,000 of those are traced to the United States. “

I doubt those numbers, too.

They didn't say whose hands these weapons were supposed to be in. Nor how many were stolen. How many weapons have been supplied to the Mexican Government by the US? How many 'Fast and Furious' 'branch offices' were in operation? How many states were involved?

The Arizona operation is, imho, just the tip of the iceberg.

As for their "logic", those weapons in the hands of legitimate firearm owners in the US are the ones NOT in the hands of the Mexican drug cartels. Attempting to ban those arms legitimately owned will not change the equation in Mexico, nor will making any sort of firearm unavailable to Americans change the balance south of the Border.

Two things will make a difference: Get the United States Government out of the gunrunning business.

Enforce our borders and expel the illegals here.

Neither of these has been done.

A note for the Seantor: If you will not hold this administration to the Law, if you will not have the Government comply with our own laws, you can expect the citizenry will, at some point, decide that the equal protection clause applies to them and the citizens will ignore those laws as well.

The current administration pursues these policies at our mutual peril.

I don’t care if the registration is free.

The Canadians spent multiples of their projected costs on a long gun registry, which has met with enormous noncompliance, cost overruns, and is of questionable utility anyway. I recall reading they are going to dump the program after over a decade of it just not working.

Why must these cursed Liberal socialists try every failed policy from around the globe as if they somehow think they can make it work? How patently arrogant of them to assume they are the ones who can make water run uphill, time run backwards, and have the leaves fly back up onto the trees and turn green again.

She has nothing to lose now, she is going to lose her seat in next year’s election..... we need to warn everyone about this, the Democrats are going to go on a Kamikaze legislative free for all.

They can't do it without the House. If the House stops it, it won't go, period.

“And the problem is, anybody can walk in and buy anything”

NO. That, too, is a lie.

Anything? How about a plasma rigfle in the 40 watt range?

"Just what you see, pal."

How about a 'Street Sweeper'?

Ya got the paperwork for a 'destructive device'? If not, even if you find one, NO.

How about one of those AK-47s the Iraqis are allowed to have?

Find a transferrable one and get cleared for the Class III.... (IOW, NO).

How about uncle Festus' bolt action?

Fine, pal, fill out the 4473, I need to see some ID, and we have to run the NICS...

"Just walk in and buy anything" is NOT the case even now, except in DiFi's wildeyed imagination.

Should someone with such a disconnect from reality be serving in a legislative body?
