The Latest on Gunrunner the DOJ & ATF

[Rapier]

"When the Operation Fast and Furious indictment was announced back in January, it was depicted as a big bust. Twenty suspects were charged with numerous counts of conspiracy, money laundering, gun running and drug trafficking. The defendants faced 5 to 20 years on a single count.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives(ATF) along with the U.S. Attorney’s office in Phoenix claimed to have dismantled a major weapons trafficking organization from top to bottom- from the end user of the weapons in Mexico to the money men, those who smuggled and transported the weapons from the U.S. into Mexico, and the buyers on our side of the border.

Yet after thousands of man hours and millions of dollars spent, only one of the 20 suspects remains behind bars. Most were released within 24 hours of their arrest. In the end, all prosecutors got was one middle man and a handful of straw buyers." Fox News

It is amazing to me that Castaway in Tampa is almost identical to F & F in that one fellow was charged and a thousand guns walked and people are dead. Yet the Feds say the two operations are not connected. Hum, sounds like a husband caught cheating to me; "are you going to believe me or your lying eyes?"

There is a reported email from a Deputy Director of the ATF instructing agents to pursue gathering evidence from these operations in order to bolster a need for gun control legislation on gun sales. Now you have, for a fact, the DOJ issuing new rules on sales within the border states.

It appears more and more that this operation (s) was not intended to catch anyone it may in fact have been intended to create a “need” in the public eye for stiffer controls on gun sales and Obama while appearing to do nothing about helping his anti gun zealot buddies was in fact trying to destroy the second amendment “below the radar.” We shall see where the bread crumbs lead.

Now if you accept the anti gun legislation theory, then you get to something much more sinister, and something that is very difficult for me to accept, that anyone in US political office would be so cynical as to kill hundreds of innocent people to make pure political gain from their deaths. Think about that for a minute. That would be a very evil person, not deserving of any office, elected or appointed.
