I can't stand the BATFE (and really big fires). I may be setting myself up to get a visit from some of Obama's cronies for that comment, but that is the truth.
As many of you know, the BATFE came up with this plan that would allow to straw purchasers* to buy guns from legitimate gun shops in the Phoenix area. The guns were allowed to be purchased by cohorts of Mexican drug cartels and were NOT tracked to the border or tracked when they entered Mexico. Whatever the purpose of this, a Border Patrol agent and ICE agent have been murdered by men with these weapons.
I was watching ABC news, when Barbra Walters mentioned that it was an operation that went terribly wrong.
What!!!
The operation happened exactly as it was designed. The BATFE agents allowed guns to be sold to ineligible buyers and then NEVER track them after they were bought. Babs and the other media idiots keep talking about it like something went wrong in the scheme. The only thing that went wrong was that Fast and Furious was allowed to happen at all. If they could just pull their self-righteous heads out of their pampered butts for a moment they will see that this was dreamed up by incredibly stupid and inept people.
To news anchors: Stop spinning this story to make it sound like these government bureaucrats made a good plan that got away from them. Call it what it is. A STUPID bureaucrat, working for an INCOMPETENT government, perfectly executing a Guns for Cartels program, that got two INNOCENT American citizens killed. And by not calling the BATFE on their crap, you are helping them cover up two murders.
As a side note I am going easy on both the anchors and the involved bureaucrats. Some of the things I wanted to say to them would be inappropriate even for the internet.
*A person with a clean criminal record that will buy a gun for another person who may or may not be eligible to legally purchase a firearm.
That Makes Me Angry!
You hit the nail on the head. The BATFE had their heads in a particular bodily sphincter that should be mentioned, but won't. The colossal blunder that was Fast and Furious is just going to make it harder for legal, law-abiding Second Amendment Right citizens to purchase, own, and use firearms legally (e.g. for hunting, sport, self-defense, ect.). Thank you, BATFE and the clowns working with and above them for not saying, "Hey, this is dangerous and, more over, just plain dumb!"
