“Very clearly, they’ve [the Obama administration] made a crisis and they’re using this crisis to somehow take away or limit people’s Second Amendment rights,” said Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), who is leading the House investigation into “Fast and Furious.”

“There’s plenty of evidence showing that this administration planned to use the tragedies of ‘Fast and Furious’ as rationale to further their goals of a long gun reporting requirement,” stated Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA), who is leading the investigation on the Senate side.

Even Obama’s Attorney General, Eric Holder, recently admitted to Congress that “Fast and Furious” guns would continue to show up at crime scenes in the U.S. and Mexico “for years to come” – just as two of them were found at the murder scene of slain Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.

So this is news? To who is this news?

The problem is that the media, the Democrats, and much of the public don't care about Contitutional rights, to them the "end" justifies the means and they honestly (and mistakenly) believe that gun control is in the public interest.

That is the real issue that the media needs to focus on. We need the public to understand that there is a Contitution and that it guarantees certain rights and that means something. I hope Congress can get its act together long enough to make Eric Holder understand that the Constitution is not something to screw with.

The next "crisis" will be that some folks don't believe the government has the right to conduct all its un-Constitutional activities - then the hammer will come down big-time and it will be them or us.
