Red State ^ | January 20, 2016 | Caleb Howe

In yet another election year scandal sure to be downplayed by the mainstream media, news broke overnight that a "massive" .50 caliber rifle intended to be a defense against helicopter gunships that was found at the hideout of notorious drug lord El Chapo's hideout was sold under the disastrous 'Fast and Furious' program!

Fox News' William La Jeunesse reports:

As RedState readers know, this news comes just hours after a judge ruled Obama couldn't claim executive privilege to cover up the scandal anymore.

The feds are still checking out all the weapons from El Chapo's drug den so it is not yet known how many other guns there came from the U.S. But hey, at least Democrats are working diligently to take your guns away. Better yours than nobody's right?

Fox News adds this awesome bit at the end of the story:....

Drives me crazy. The media is so evil. This should have taken down this administration. Media double standard. Trump has it right and makes me cheer when he attacks the media.

It's a good thing that all the GOP candidates attack the MSM media.

Proibably one of these:

They are pricy, and they are available on the civilian market, but it’s a disgrace what the ATF did and how it’s been covered up. If Trump is going to “make America great again,” he’s going to have to spend money on a lot of lawyers to go after the internal corruption in our government. If we really punished these people who have run roughshod over the Constitition, we’re going to need more prison capacity.

It's fortunate that Ted Cruz understands law (quite well) and how to prosecute (lots of wins) cases of this complexity.

Operation Fast & Furious had as its central purpose the subversion of the US Constitution. The program's stategy was to gin up a furor over guns sourced in the US being used in Mexican crime so that the US public could be stampeded into restricting the 2nd Amendment. Since few such guns were being used in Mexico more had to be supplied. They also had to show up at crime scenes so that they could be traced back to the US to 'prove' the Obama administration's assertions.

The GOP should be harping on one message every time F&F is mentioned. F&F was a program designed to result in Mexican deaths - so that 'evil' US-sourced guns could be found at the crime scenes and US gun laws could be blamed for the carnage. Holder, Napolitano, Hillary and Obama and a host of their minions cooked this program up knowing that Mexicans would die - in fact, needing Mexicans to die for this scheme to work. The Obama administration was cynically willing to slaughter Hispanics to accomplish their political purposes. The only "botch" in the scheme was F&F guns turning up to get Americans killed too.

Liberals are okay with selling Barrett .50 caliber rifles to drug lords, but they don’t want real Americans to have a choice on which firearms to keep and bear. Liberals disgust me.

Disgrace? It’s a crime. The program’s success depended on the murder of random innocent persons. It’s depraved.

I believe a 420MM mortar is a massive gun or something. As usual the MSM likes to exaggerate.

I thought they “only” sold M-16s to the drug lords.

There is for this regime no last straws, they just continue to spread out the corruption with ever increasing scandals and the islamists continue to provide more Camels.

Weren’t those guns supposed to have had trackers on them to allow the feds to find cartel members? And yet it was Rolling Stone and Sean Penn that found the guy....

It's a massive gun that shoots shells of about 16” diameter at high angles. IIRC the Germans used one in the siege of Sevastopol in 1940 or 1941.
