Fast And Furious Shredding Of The Constitution

Progressives are sneaky weasels who smile at you while stabbing you in the back. They will stop at nothing to impose their idea of Socialist Utopia on people and that includes ignoring or shredding the Constitution. These people look at our rule of law as an impediment to them attaining their goal of complete domination over the populace.
Progressives come in all shapes and sizes and that means there are Republican as well as Democrat progressives. One only needs to look at the bills being pushed through Congress right now, bills that will designate the US as part of the battlefield and deny Americans their Constitutional protections, to see that both parties are working toward complete domination.
The Fast and Furious gun running scheme that was sanctioned by the Obama regime and had support from the White House through the Justice Department to the ATF is a classic example of how progressives work to remove our rights.
Fast and Furious was a scheme in which the ATF asked gun dealers to allow illegal purchases to be made so the guns could be tracked to drug cartels in Mexico. The gun dealers were not happy about this and continually asked for reassurance that they would not get in trouble and that the guns would not make it south of the border.
The dealers were assured that the government had things under control. We now know this is untrue as the ATF lost track of a large number of guns, two of which were found at the scene of the murder of a border patrol agent.
The Obama regime has denied involvement and documents obtained by CBS show that the regime was interested in using the illegal purchases (purchases that were allowed ONLY at the request of the regime) to enforce more stringent gun control measures.
That’s right. The Obama regime asked gun dealers to allow illegal purchases to go through AND THEN tried to use those purchases as a reason we need tougher reporting rules, tougher gun laws. If the ATF had not asked the gun dealers to allow the illegal purchases they would not have happened.
Create a crisis, address the crisis and then trample on our rights while shredding the Constitution.
Fast and Furious was a criminal act authorized by the Obama regime that was ostensibly to track guns to drug cartels but in reality was designed to create a situation where the regime could impose more gun control.
Who knows what would have happened if the criminals in the regime had not been caught?
Eric Holder needs to go. Obama needs to go. The head of the ATF needs to go. In fact, anyone involved in this at the management level needs to go.
They all need to go to jail…
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

I fortold of this very thing about a year ago, when the first inklings were coming out- I had had a conversation with a gun dealer friend of mine, and the feds were pressing him to to the same thing, and we figured it was a blatant ploy to shrink or eliminate the 2nd amendment by these socialists, since they want no resistance, cowards that they are, when tthey try to take over our government- you are right, it matters not which party anymore- they are pretty much the same- asshole socialists with a spine two sizes too small.
As disappointing as the R’s often are, they are infinitely preferable to the D’s. There’s a huge difference between the parties, especially at the national level.
“Fast and Furious was a scheme in which the ATF asked gun dealers to allow illegal purchases to be made so the guns could be tracked to drug cartels in Mexico.”
No. Actually, it is worse than that. There was never any attempt to track the weapons. You make it sound like there was a plan to track them and it failed. There was not. There was no plan to track the weapons, there was never any attempt made to track them. So, F&F did not ‘fail’ in this regard.
The whole point of F&F was to destroy our 2nd Amendment rights. The method was to ‘prove’ the Obama/Dem theory that Mexican drug cartels were obtaining their weapons illegally from US dealers. It wasn’t true. So, they created F&F to make it true. The ATF and FBI through ‘straw-purchasers’ bought weapons from dealers that the ATF had convinced to cooperate (many had serious doubts). The weapons were then given to the Mexican drug cartels.
So far, F&F was a brilliant success. A few thousand weapons were ‘walked’ to the cartels.
The next step was to simply wait for these weapons to be found at crime scenes – often accompanied by civilian casualties, sometimes Mexican police and military were killed as well. This happened. Hundreds were killed by these weapons.
So far, F&F continued to be a brilliant success.
The next step was supposed to be a push in Congress to crack down on gun dealers. However, something unexpected happened: a US Border Patrol agent was killed by a ‘walked’ weapon and the story made national news. Worse, some ATF agents and gun dealers started talking. This is where F&F, from the point of view of Obama/Holder/ATF/FBI and their anti-2nd Amendment allies, “failed”. This is the part where the operation was “botched”. No one was supposed to know the weapons were bought by the ATF and given to the cartels.
The problem with Fast and Furious is NOT that it was a failed operation. The problem is that it was a highly successful operation that never should have been launched. The deaths involved were expected. In fact, they were NECESSARY for the plan to succeed.
