IMHO there was another purpose besides gun control: The arming of reconquista guerillas in Texas, New Mexico , and Arizona, based in and working out of federal lands in these states. Few understand the scope of Obamas usurpation, or why it would be done. Obama is a fascist*. Few understand that. We have the worst possible enemy of the People sitting in the White House.
Holder and Obama have perpetrated acts of war on Mexico , which have resulted in the genocide deaths of 300+ Mexican citizens, and two US BATF agents, and maybe more.As such they both are war criminals who deserve arrest, trial and execution.
Thats the ugly truth in total.

I’m sure that Sinaloa cartel was generous with political figures in order to get the special treatment it got.
