But this initiative, which was identical to one launched under the Bush administration,...

Blatantly false! Four ATF agents were deposed by Issa's House subcommittee and all four say they never heard of letting guns intentionally "walk" before Fast & Furious.

The author of this propaganda, Carolyn Maloney, is a lying whore!

It seems to me that if her husband were carrying when Colin Ferguson was exerting his non-2nd amendment rights, not only would we be reading an article from a nurse on her way to work, we would be reading the same from a non-widow as well.

That's the other Carolyn, Carolyn McCarthy. This is Carolyn (baloney) Maloney.

Operation Fast and Furious, the attempt to stop gun trafficking into Mexico gone horribly wrong, is now providing political fodder for a Washington game of “gotcha” that underscores everything wrong with our political system.

Not at all. Fast and Furious was an attempt to smear the NRA by helping get "assault weapons" into the hands of drug dealers and assorted bandits so 2nd amendment supporters can be libeled.

This horrific plan fell apart when people found out about it and with the murder of border agent, Brian Terry.

With Saul Alinsky and any other Communist, the ends justify the means; however, those implementing the means were negligent klutzes who got people killed. And the U.S. is left with acts of murder of our people and possible acts of war against Mexico if any of those drug cartel people fired on Mexican troops.

This BITCH is as evil as Obama/Holder...she is fast and furiously loosing all credibility, if she ever had any, with this trash.

Holder is toast, and I believe he knows it. Apparently this BITCH has been recruited to try and turn off the toaster.

Trouble is, the toaster does not have a switch, and she, an imbecilic Demoncrap, can’t find the plug.

Not!!

No tracking devices in this operation, and no cessation of the operation when failure was evident, and sooooo much more!

This BS canard needs to be shot down at every opportunity.

The ATF ignored violated the very laws it was supposed to enforce.

Sorry, I don't often edit others' posts. I hope you don't mind.

No More Gun Control. Not after F&F. Anymore gun control passes and this nation will be thrown into a civil war. F&F was the last straw for a lot of people. The only reason that they haven’t been stringing up people on lamp poles in DC is that they are trusting Rep. Issa to do his job along with Sen. Grassley.

As a matter of fact, we damned well better see repeals of a LOT of gun control laws on the books now. The US Government has lost the moral high ground and authority to even think of prosecuting any firearms laws at this point.

I don’t think most people realize the number of laws that were not only broken but shattered by F&F. Everything from about 100 different firearms laws to RICO and ITAR violations to Treason.

F&F was designed specifically to violate the Civil Rights of Americans. People MUST be held accountable AND the Government MUST relinquish authority over firearms for it. Nothing less will be acceptable.

Maloney, a Democratic congresswoman, represents parts of Manhattan and Queens.

She represents the ideas of the majoritiy of voters in her district. Once again the voters of NY show themselves as to what they really are. government worshiping socialists who hate and envy the freedom that the rest of the country has.

Who is more dangerous to our way of life? A bunch of primatives with AKs in Afganistan or a load of smug, self absorbed New Yorkers voting to take away the rights from the rest of the country?

Poor, poor Carolyn. Bless her little heart.

She's so far behind the curve on this she thinks that its somebody else's backside she's looking at instead of her own.

An out an out lie. First the Bush administration plan was small. Second it actually had a plan to track the guns. F&F had no plan to do so, Third, it was done in co-operation and with the knowlege of the Mexican government. Forth it was discontinued quickly when problems became apperent. Holder didn't "inherit" it, he created a new program designed simply to send as many illegal guns to Mexico as possible, without the cooperation or knowelge of Mexican authorites. The only logical goal was to promote gun control.

Don't shoot the messenger.

We have a very loyal LE class. Loyal to the smug self absorbed ruling class who pass laws 24/7 365.

Tougher gun laws 'scandal' is a Carolyn Maloney red herring: What we really need is for liberals to stop buying and using illicit drugs.

If it weren't for liberals consuming narcotics, there'd be no market for hideously violent Latin American narco-traffickers to engage in.
