Dems Call for More Gun Control in Light of Operation Fast and Furious

What’s the answer to failed government? More government!

In the June Issue of Townhall Magazine http://magazine.townhall.com/featured I wrote Misfire: Obama's Scandalous Secret Gun Control Agenda, http://townhall.com/tipsheet/chrisfield ... rol_agenda about how Operation Fast and Furious would result in calls for more gun control and I questioned whether officials in the Obama Justice Department purposely allowed thousands of semi-automatic weapons to flow into the hands of dangerous drug cartels in order to meet President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder’s goal of re-instating the ban on assault rifles and other forms of harsh gun control.

During an Oversight Committee hearing on June 15, Democrat Rep. Elijah Cummings stated the following: “No legitimate examination of this issue will be complete without analyzing our nation’s gun laws, which allow tens of thousands of assault weapons to flood into Mexico from the United States every year, including fifty caliber sniper rifles, multiple AK variants and scores of others. When Mexican President Calderon addressed Congress in May, he pleaded for us to stop fueling a full-scale drug war with military-grade assault rifles.â€

Bottom line: Officials within the Obama Justice Department have been breaking, not enforcing, current guns laws. It doesn’t matter how many more gun laws the U.S. government imposes on the law abiding public, a government willing to break its own laws for political gain without common sense or basis on factual evidence, will only lead to more corruption and more innocent deaths in Mexico and the United States. Operation Fast and Furious is a result of illegal government activity, not lax gun laws.

"Issa!"

ATF's ‘Fast and Furious’ gun-tracking program prompts gun laws debate

By Jordy Yager - 06/30/11 05:45 AM ET

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) released a report Thursday pushing lawmakers to strengthen the country’s gun laws and regulations to better equip law enforcement agents in their fight against illegal weapons trafficking.

The 26-page report, titled, “Outgunned: Law Enforcement Agents Warn Congress They Lack Adequate Tools to Counter Illegal Firearms Trafficking,â€

Problem is with government and there lack of desire to secure border.......
They always try to blame the America citizen for a problem they(gov.) create.

There was no crisis to take advantage of, so they created one.

The country is going to have to worry about his new pick for the position.

National Briefing | Washington: Obama Picks a Director For the A.T.F.

Nearly two years into his term, President Obama on Monday finally chose a director for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Mr. Obama will submit the name of Andrew Taver, the special agent in charge of the bureau’s Chicago field division, to the Senate for consideration, the White House said. He may face a confirmation fight; after Congress changed the position to make it one requiring Senate confirmation, President George W. Bush’s nominee was blocked by senators who used it to criticize the enforcement of gun laws against firearms dealers.

If those dang gang bangers south of our border are indeed armed with U.S weapons systems, our boys and girls in blue better have good gun control if those scumbags ever come over here a wailing with those guns. I don't want to see a bunch of cops shaking uncontrollably in their pants, while facing an Armada of drug cartels armed to the teeth. Hold it steady boys and girls.

Gee, as if we didn't see this coming...

My question is:

Which Democrat, or Crats, put the funding for this "program" in the Stimuls Bill?
