I’m with you 100% on Obama being in favor of gun control. If he wanted to make his perverted point of mass murder, it would have had a lot more effect if the blood baths were right here in this country. There are plenty of criminals and gangs that could be manipulated to “support” his point far more than the death of a single border agent. (Apology in support of discussion).
Why would our government need to be involved with drug lords who could just purchase whatever they wanted here and payoff Mexican border guards on their own? I still think that these guns could be in the hands of Muslim extremists...although there is nothing in your correspondence that I disagree with.
The conventional wisdom is that it would be too difficult to hide such a gun walking operation domestically. Since it is much easier [much] to remain covert while working w/ foreign criminals and similar results were expected, it was decided to go in that direction.
It didn't work out - especially after Brian's murder.
