No one died over
Watergate. Iran-Contra was not an attack on our own
constitution. But make no mistake about Project Gunrunner.
It was an attack on our constitution and it was planned to be a covert
project, run by multiple government agencies, to subvert and negate the
Second Amendment.
The
Handgun Club of America
offers the timeline in .pdf format. It's viewable online or
down-loadable. . First, Obama's antipathy for gunowners is well documented.
I'm convinced it's for the same reason any despot dislikes citizens
with guns, but that's really beside the point. The really short story
of what happened is contained in the opening paragraphs of HCA's
document.
“
You will recall that shortly after President
Obama took office in 2009,
the administration launched a loud push to reinstate the so-called
"assault weapons" ban. This was a coordinated effort between and
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Attorney General Eric Holder to
mislead and deceive the American public. As
justification for the ban,
they claimed that 90% of the military-style weapons used in the drug
cartel wars in Mexico were coming from the USA, from southern border
gun shops.
It didn't take long for many people to determine this was at best a
case of bad math or an outright lie. We know now, thanks to uncovered
government documents, that both Justice and the State Department knew
full well that 90% of the arms in Mexico were coming, not from north of
the Mexican border, but south— from Central America. In addition, the
government knew that some of the arms the U.S. Government legally sold
to the Mexican military were ending up in the hands of the drug cartels.
Obama to Holder— Fix
those numbers
Obama rather famously changes, creates, or
destroys documents as suits him, so in effect he here commanded Eric
Holder to " fix those numbers." Now there's this.
A second “Gun
walking” scandal is developing in the Tampa ATF field office. It
appears that the Tampa field division had it’s own version of Operation
Fast and Furious, letting guns “walk” into Honduras in Central
America. Tampa’s Operation Castaway mirrors the debacle in
Phoenix.
Did I say these are really, really bad people? Brit Hume calls
Obama "Nixonian" We should be so lucky. "Hitlarian"
is spot-on.

A real press would be hounding officials for explanations. Since the press is in this administration's back pocket, they'll only smell the farts and tell everyone it's like rose petals.
Multiple agencies and Gummint officials, many of which we can specifically name, conspired to commit a crime, committed that crime and then framed law abiding U.S. citizens for the crime. The Treasonous MSM gleefully ran with the fabricated story (the lie that 90% of guns in Mexico come from the U.S.) to create public support for more gun laws regulations and restrictions. We all know what should be done with every single person involved in this.
Conspiracy Con*spir"a*cy, n.; pl. Conspiracies. [See Conspiration.] 1. A combination of people for an evil purpose; an agreement, between two or more persons, to commit a crime in concert, as treason; a plot.
Frame Frame, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Framed; p. pr. & vb. n. Framing.] 2. To originate; to plan; to devise; to contrive; to compose; in a bad sense, to invent or fabricate, as something false.
OK, gotta ask. As Nixonian as this is, could the coverup and the denials be more crimes? Could there be a conspiracy to avoid getting caught or to destroy evidence? Could there be collusion? Not a lawyer, but seems to me that a felony can be committed in activities taken to avoid punishment for (or publicity of) a misdemeanor. That would be schaedenfruede and lagniappe rolled up into one! We can only hope. tomw
I'm still not convinced that some Chicago buddy isn't makin' money from the cartels by arranging for the gunrunning under government-sponsorship cover.
With any luck, this thing could be the straw that will break the Komrade Doofus' administration and hopefully get him impeached. But we can't rely on the MSM to report honestly on this fiasco.
And Doug could be right about some Chicago buddy of the Doofus's to be making a huge profit from this. That should be looked into as well.
I am very worried that Obama will issue an Executive Order which bans the manufacture and importation of some things I like a lot (e.g. high capacity magazines and black rifles).
Recently Rep. Alan West (R) called on Obomadad to get rid of Holder. Now I'm wondering it there is some reason that he can't. Perhaps if Holder goes he takes Obama down with him? Or is Obama and his coterie of fart catchers just really stupid? "They asked me how I knew My true love was true Oh, I of course replied Something here inside cannot be denied
They said someday you'll find All who lie are blind Oh, with their pants on fire You must realize their.. Smoke gets in your eyes
So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed To think they could doubt my love Yet in print my love was blown away And I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride Tears I can not hide Oh, so I smile and say When a lovely lie dies Smoke gets in your eyes Smoke gets in your eyes"
