One explanation for all of this is quite frightening. Let's say that Obama or his administration initiated these gunrunner programs with the intention for the programs to eventually fail and go public. The desired result would be to get groups like the NRA, Congress, co-ar15, and eventually the general population to scream for a massive overhaul of BATFE. So, Obama shrugs his shoulder and says, "sure, I'll overhaul and remake BATFE, just like I did with the banking industry, the auto industry, healthcare...."
My concern is that a sweeping overhaul of BATFE, under Obama's admin, would be devastating to our rights.
