Now, that’s some interest insight, thanks!

I’m still a little confused relating to the purpose of the entire program under both Administration - since they knew when straw buyers were buying guns here, why not simply not sell the guns at that point? I suppose catching those in the gun running business is important, but if there is no access to guns from straw buyers there would be no gun running to Mexico,

Now, not tracking guns sold by the Obama Administration must have had an entire different purpose and goal. How that was thought of as helpful to America is the huge question.

Well if you think there’s no shortage of straw buyers, the only way to interdict the gunrunning would be to track the middleman between the buyer and the end user. That’s what Bush’s program assayed to do, and it failed.

What do you mean by “America?” If you mean "the middle class,” Obama has shown no interest at all in promoting “America’s” welfare.
