“The ends justify the means.. gotta break eggs to make an omelet . . . .” The aged 1960s Marxist/Alinsky campus radicals (spoiled brats) and their bratty ideological issue make no secret about how they feeeeeeeeeeeeeeel . . . .
Yeah, the Communist way.
That does it. Nothing less than a federal cellblock for Eric Holder. Let him preach that crap in Lewisburg Penitentiary.
If US guns would be uneconomical enough that cartels would not want them, then who supplied the money to shop at the Lone Wolf WMD Flea Market?
Does any of this rise to more than the level of mere speculation?
I sort of thought at first that the deal was to empower the drug cartels to make Mexico an even worst place to live thereby driving as many illegals as possible across the border so they can vote in this election.
As I have heard it, Sipsey Street Irregulars, and lately now CBS News, are talking about government documents SAYING this is what the gun walkers wanted.
I’ve felt there must be more, but God knows. It’s certainly not LESS.
What is implied in a scheme like this is truly horrific, because such a scheme would never work *unless* there was something that would acutely enrage the American public - a massacre of Americans by Mexicans with US guns.
“The attack on Columbus, New Mexico, began as a raid conducted by Pancho Villa’s fighters on the small United States border town in March 1916. 18 Americans were killed, much of the town was burned and looted, and the public was outraged enough to demand an invasion of Mexico.”
Of course, were a large number of Americans to be massacred by a drug cartel today, though the US military would probably be more than happy to move into northern Mexico and exterminate every cartel member, this would not be what Obama and his ideologues would want.
Instead, they would want an event where Americans were massacred by unknown Mexicans, with substantial evidence that they were killed with US made guns.
This would be an excuse to make a wide ranging assortment of gun control demands, in something like a gun control Obamacare, loaded with hundreds or thousands of bureaucratic invasions that would make gun ownership impossible.
A lot of it came from the FBI, in money to a confidential informant, to buy the guns. It is one reason for the coverup. There was also a third rifle at the Brian Terry shooting, that was taken from the crime scene. The word is that it was tied to this confidential informant, which is why it "disappeared" from the crime scene.
“There was also a third rifle at the Brian Terry shooting, that was taken from the crime scene.”
Yup.
And who knows how many dead......
“Im wondering about foreign influence.”
O. Like......Hezbollah/Iran? AQ? Hizb ut-Tahrir?
We did with our tax dollars?
I’m not sure why they bought them. Maybe it was just an opportunity - an impulse buy?
Lets put it this way - where, in the US, can you buy an automatic weapon of recent vintage, a grenade or heavy weapons?
We might have some stuff they would want (Barretts?) but they can get the M16s from our “allies” and AKs from the USSR’s former clients or Venezuela.
