(image courtesy of Robb Allen)Feds Silent on How Convicted Felons Bought Guns in 'Operation Fast and Furious'
EXCLUSIVE: In the latest chapter of the gunrunning scandal known as Operation Fast and Furious, federal officials won't say how two suspects obtained more than 360 weapons despite criminal records that should have prevented them from buying even one gun.The more news gets out about this operation, the more I am convinced this was 100% designed to provide a "crisis" upon which the Øbama administration could leverage support for more gun control. We started hearing about the mythical "guns from US gun shows winding up in Mexico" as far back as 2008 - which, I'm certain, is only coincidentally the same time that "Operation Fast & Furious" was getting started.
...
However, according to court records reviewed by Fox News, two of the 20 defendants indicted in the Fast and Furious investigation have felony convictions and criminal backgrounds that experts say, at the very least, should have delayed them buying a single firearm. Instead, the duo bought dozens of guns on multiple occasions while federal officials watched on closed-circuit cameras.
We heard about grenades, rocket launchers, and machine guns finding their way from American gun shows to Mexican gangs. We were shown statistics of dubious origin claiming that a disproportionate number of guns were traced back to the US. The more that comes out about this, the more it seems like the ATF was the main facilitator of guns flowing from the US to Mexico, with straw purchasers not merely encouraged, but outright abetted by agents of the ATF. Folks who had no business being approved for a sale - folks that the Brady Bunch lobbied hard to have denied - were given the green light to buy multiple guns.
As long as those guns were finding their way across the border.
These are the same people that don't want you to have a 30 round magazine. Or a bayonet lug. They want to limit you and I to buying one firearm a month (year? lifetime?). They would love to see Massachusetts-style permitting in place, with a $100/5 year permit needed to simply own a firearm, and no guarantees you'd be allowed to carry that firearm. And here they are, gleefully helping convicted felons buy guns that they knew were crossing international borders.
People - American people - died as a result of this program. Where is the outrage?
That is all.

Oh there's Outrage out there, all right. And there should be some more at today's Hearings. But this is kinda like the early days of Watergate. It'll take time to simmer and come to a boil, and penetrate into the skulls of the Sheeple. Add in the fact that this Cancer has spread outside of Holder's DOJ into Hillary's State Dept., we will see how many more people the Anointed One's Admin allowed to be murdered all in the cause of "Reasonable Gun Control." What pissed me off is the fact that if an Honest Citizen went to purchase a firearm, and somebody at NICS transposed a number, one could not buy a weapon, yet these yahoos get a pass over and over and over? Stay tuned.
These are not the droids you're looking for... move along...

This admin has been an outrage a day, at least. It's hard to stay as worked up as the situation deserves.
From sending SEIU thugs to attack Tea Parties to bowing to our enemies and pissing off our allies to screwing democracy movements around the world (Honduras, Iran...) to giving $trillions of our money to Dem campaign donors to ignoring black voter fraud to.......
And that's just a selection from his first year.
I've mostly gone over into despair, we're all screwed.
I don't know what's gonna happen, but it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
I'm not even joking when I say the best outcome is an asteroid strike.
Otherwise, we're in for a nannarchy or some serious problems.
I'm so mad I could ... OH LOOK! Amy Whinehouse died of an O.D.!!

Anyone, wag the dog?
Eck!
I am spending a lot of time at the loading bench.
And making Midway richer.
Remembering Stalin's tactics, he couldn't enslave an armed populous. Same holds true here: Øbambi must wipe away all us "gun-clingers" if he is to redistribute our money without a fuss.
