The Obama administration is determined to tighten gun regulations and background checks, and to add hundreds or thousands of veterans to a list that will prevent them from buying guns for sport, personal protection, or simply for pleasure because “guns are dangerous and can fall into the hands of criminals and terrorists.” At least that is the purported aim. Many of these people will lose their Constitutional right to own a firearm without any due process. And the real secret is the long term objective, which is to confiscate all guns from law abiding citizens, whether that takes months or years.
The irony is that while the Obama administration has been working overtime to take guns away from any number of Americans (and we are talking tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands), the Justice Department, under the direction of Attorney Eric Holder, launched a program called Fast and Furious early in Obama’s first term that placed thousands of guns in the hands of criminals, including exceedingly violent gang members, with the purported purpose of “tracking” them to Mexican drug lords, thus allowing Mexican and U.S. police to arrest and incarcerate these criminals. The end result, however, was that the Justice Department lost track of virtually all of the weapons, with a few notable exceptions.
So while Obama is doing everything possible to take guns away from law-abiding citizens, he was handing hundreds of high-powered weapons to criminals and other bad guys.
How does that make sense?
See where Fast and Furious weapons ended up, page 2:
I stopped reading after you said he wasn’t racist or unfair to women. This is the most clueless moronic comment I’ve ever read trying to justify putting an egomaniac in power who will only make things worse
I know if I was to sell a gun thar was used in a terrorist way, I wouldn’t get out of jail. I have no powers like hillary.
I’m not surprised. It seems our leadership is fine with everyone having guns except the innocent citizens who have no history of violence.
Thousands.
That was exactly what he wanted. He made a speech beforehand, claiming the cartels use American guns. When that was debunked…. they use AK’s….he sent these guns to do exactly that, pretending to do a sting. But there was no sting…no tracking mechanisms. Insidious pos….he is
You know the answer you your know question.
Fact: the people win and secret societies lose.
Did you not read it? Of the thousands of guns, you are trying to to claim this isn’t one of them?
So….thousands of guns were cleaned out of Phoenix pawn shops and gun stores and sold to criminals and terrorists. And you don’t see a connection?
Propaganda
James Folan that’s not how I read it. The only connection is Phoenix. If it was one of the fast and furious guns, don’t you think it would be all over the news?
