NBC must be mixed up in it.

From what I’ve been reading this goes all the way up to AG Holder. Looks like the first big scandal of the O administration and it ain’t gonna be pretty.

Lying to Congress is a felony, at least when us peasants do it.

It’s sad when Conservatives buy into the language of the enemy by referring to a semi-automatic rifle that looks similar to a military rifle as an “assault weapon,” which they are absolutely not.

American politicians send guns south to Mexican drug lords. Mexican drug lords send money north to American politicians. A simple exchange.

Banglist bump!
Cat's out of the bag. Let's see how much damage it can do. Heck, Rush spent some time on it, so this cat may have long legs. Heads should roll, but I don't trust that they will.

“an operation in which ATF agents allowed assault weapons to be purchased in the United States and “walked” across the southern border and into the hands of Mexican drug cartels”

Can someone please tell me why ATF agents would do this? Were they selling the weapons to the cartel?

You know, I'd pretty much forgotten about the David Hartley / Falcon Lake murder last fall until some additional info came out today. The way the Feds were engaged in that seemed awfully puzzling at the time, but when looked at in the context of all this they become far more suspicious. I wonder if Brian Terry was not the first American the feds knew about that was killed by a Gunwalker firearm.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think it was more than just “allowing” it. I was under the impression that they actually ran the smuggling operation, or were complicit in it, as an intended sting operation so they could nail gun dealers along the border.

Also, so they could confirm the Democrat propaganda story that all that violence in Mexico was the doing of American gun dealers. Presumably this was approved at the highest levels. Holder at least, perhaps Obama as well.

When the Attorney General publicly admits criminal behavior(not enforcing laws he doesn’t like), all bets are off and any criminality by any government agency is SOP. Of course, it’s been this way for a long time at the BATF.

Rush started to talk about this yesterday, teased it going into the top of the hour news, then came back talking about the NASA rocket that ditched in the Pacific. I had to run an errand, and was hoping he'd be talking about it when I got back to the truck, but he'd gone back to the unemployment numbers story. Did anyone hear if he actually gave the Gunwalker story any time? Ticked me off big time that he didn't come back to it like he said he would.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Not only was an American agent killed defending the border (the one that is safer than ever before...)by an AK-47 that was allowed to be “walked” into Mexico, facts are that the agent was armed with a non-lethal “bean-bag” weapon, per orders from our PC gov.org. His family are not happy.

The lefty bastards were making such a big deal about the number of guns making their way from the US to mexico as a pretext to restricting or even banning sales. Now we know how and we know why.

String ‘em up - all of them.

“This allegation is denied by officials of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) or ATF.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Doesn’t matter. Doesn’t even matter if it’s true or not. Defund them.
