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 asked the same question at the ATF national laboratory the day Brian Terry’s death went public. I was told that they were not made unusable by orders from on high. Which means the acting director of the ATF, Eric Holder or the president gave the order.
Gullible is believing that Obama is the best thing since sliced bread
Barack Obama. Arming the world’s terrorists.
Because the firearms database that all the F&F firearms were entered into did not exist during Iran/Contra.
That’s b******t. I was at the ATF when it was going on. It was initiated by Holder and only did they stop the sales after Brian Terry got killed.
SO, quite simply the illegal Obama/Holder “fast and furious” traces to firearms used by Islamic terrorists. Undoubtedly there will be many more from his support of Libyan anti-government forces who joined ISIS weapons and all!
Maybe I should have worded it differently. Maybe I should have said which other presidents were involved in gun deals gone wrong?
Mark James that,s just wrong if you know someone is going to use weapons to kill people and you sell it to them knowing that then you are adding in murder and should be charged . the government needs to be overhauled i dont think the people of this country want drug lords and gangs getting working gun,s from the government i know i dont and if the order came from holder or the president then they need to be charged they knew what they were doing it,s just as bad as pulling the trigger them self
Which was started by the bush bunch, so tired of Lies
Will Obama you can chalk up a few more deaths to your repertoire
