Operation Fast &
Furious -- or as we have been calling it, “Project Gunwalker” -- is becoming a large scandal very fast and
most furiously.
One media outlet referred to it yesterday as “worse than Iran-Contra.”
As you know, the anti-gun brass at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) conspired to force gun dealers to sell firearms to criminals who in turn walked those firearms across the border into Mexico and into the hands of dangerous drug gangs.
The BATFE administration blatantly ignored its own agents’ warnings in order to advance their anti-gun political agenda. By sanctioning and encouraging the sale, literally thousands of firearms ended up in the hands of violent Mexican drug cartels .The result?
At least two American law enforcement agents killed, one Mexican military helicopter shot down and over 100 Mexican officers killed or wounded.
That’s not counting the crime that could come in the future.
The BATFE purposefully armed men who are considered by our own Federal law enforcement agents to be more dangerous than al Qaeda.
And now, thanks to thousands of gun owners -- patriots who took action and called their Congressmen -- the anti-gun zealots who run the BATFE are facing a Congressional inquiry.
On Wednesday, after a full day of hearings, the Chairman of the US House of Representatives Oversight and Government Reform Committee had this to say regarding guns going into Mexico:
“Could that be a political decision? Could that be a decision that basically, we just want to substantiate that guns in America go to Mexico…?”
You see what’s going on here.
Let’s retrace the steps:

You see what’s going on here.
Let’s retrace the steps:
· The Obama administration and Hillary
Clinton State Department assert that most of the guns used in Mexican crimes
come from America, and that in the name of regional stability "more restriction on law-abiding American Firearms
owners are needed and the United States must sign on to the United Nations
Small Arms Treaty.
· The BATFE begins investigating this
“claim”, and creates a “sting operation” to ensure American guns end up in
Mexico. Then they force gun
dealers to sell firearms to known criminals who smuggle
the guns to violent Mexican drug cartels.
· Agents on the ground in
this investigation said that it was a horrible idea, but the operations were
authorized and supported by leading officials in the BATFE and the Justice
Department.
The mantra of the anti-gun
Left is simple: “never let a crisis go to waste.”
And if there isn’t a convenient crisis, go ahead and make one up.
This is exactly the strategy Obama and his anti-gun allies have been practicing for years.
They will use this “crisis” to ram federal gun control legislation down the throats of American citizens.
But I know you won’t stand for it.
I’m going to remind them every chance I get, and remind them that you are behind me.

AS A FOOTNOTE
Have you ever seen a bigger
abuse of the law by an agency charged with "enforcing" it?
The more I read about the BATFE's outrageous actions during this Project Gunwalker fiasco, the more furious I get...
Did you know that when ATF field agents complained about how dangerous the idea of allowing guns to walk into Mexico was, one supervisor wrote in an email "if you don't think this is fun, you are in the wrong line of work, period!"
"Fun."
Apparently strong-arming law-abiding firearms dealers in America to allow criminals to straw-purchase weapons that would be used later to murder federal agents is "fun" to the ATF chain of command.
When yet another agent warned that this tactic could lead to loss of life, his the ATF boss told him "if you are going to make an omelets, you need to scramble some eggs."
This is what citizens -- and even lower-level federal agents -- are thought to be in the eyes of ATF big wigs: "eggs."
And if there were any doubt about what they were doing, ATF agent John Dodson, testifying before Congress last week, had this to say: "Allowing loads of weapons that we knew to be destined for criminals, this was the plan. It was so mandated.”
Well, in my eyes, the plan is a sick and twisted example of an Agency Gone Wild.
