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:
Really old news
The Reagan administration? Cause they did the same exact fucking thing except those guns were used to kill South Americans not Europeans
The Reagan Administration was even worse look into your God damned history
Grady Minyard, non-gun people (like me) call automatic and semi-automatic guns assault weapons. I’ve even heard the term used on the news. Their purpose is to assault (kill) others – so even if gun people don’t like the word or call it that, that’s what it is to us non-gun people.
Ya, sure they sold em.
And no move to abolish the ATF? Shame on us.
Can you prove it a lie? Obama did after all gave guns to drug cartels. That’s a fact
Maybe you should try and educate yourself
And if your your believing what the news is telling you, you are part of the mindless sheep
There also what all police departments use to protect and serve
