So I read an article in NRA's July 2011 "American Rifleman" yesterday and it was speaking on the BATFE's Operation Fast and Furious and one point I thought "Holy cow this guy is attempting to violate the constitution...." Here is what it said (paraphrased):
Operation Fast and Furious was proposed and started to perpetuate the lie that 90% of guns used by the cartels that are smuggled from the U.S. came illegally from legitimate gun dealers. Once evidence was found to promote this then the Obama Administration would have a clear path to enacting stricter gun control legislation. The operation was intended to expose gun dealers of illegally selling to individuals who intended to sell the guns to criminals involved with the cartels.

The Director of the BATFE should be put on trial for conspiracy to infringe upon America's 2nd Amendment rights. Obama plays dumb and states that he had no knowledge of this, but I think that dog won't hunt. He also claims that someone will be held accountable for the failure of the BATFE and the loss of weapons, doesn't the buck stop at his desk? Isn't he ultimately responsible and accountable for his administration's actions? Remember Nixon?
