Are Fast and Furious Guns Coming to a Town Near You?

Like a cancer, the growing number of news stories being uncovered from the cache on Operation Fast and Furious relentlessly gnaws at the Obama administration. And at a time like this, when other scandals, such as Solyndra, are raising questions about possible White House improprieties, the President who promised us transparency is forced to circle the wagons to protect the White House, the Justice Department and the myriad federal agencies involved in Fast and Furious from the eyes of investigative committees in the House and Senate.

What makes things even worse for Obama & Co. is that Fast and Furious is not over yet. There are still more than 1,000 guns unaccounted for, grenade components that were moved across the border to the Mexican cartel, and questions about how truthful the administration has been in reporting details to date.

For example, although we’ve been told for months that only two Fast and Furious guns were found at the murder scene of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in December 2010, we now know there were at least three. We also know that the existence of the third gun and its ties to Fast and Furious were intentionally covered up by the FBI.

And while Obama & Co. has tried to act like American citizens were not endangered by Fast and Furious, recent unsettling news is that in 2010, police in Maricopa County, Ariz., apprehended a Mexican national with a Fast and Furious gun in his possession. He had rammed two police cruisers and tried to outrun others before being caught with two weapons in his possession, one of which was a gun that was supposed to be walked into Mexico and transferred to the cartel.

How many other criminals are driving the streets in Arizona, Texas and New Mexico with Fast and Furious weapons in their cars right now?

Moreover, how many of the 1,000 Fast and Furious guns unaccounted for are in the U.S. instead of Mexico?

These are serious questions that need to be answered by the administration that promised us transparency.

And when you couple these new developments with the fact that we now know White House officials were briefed on Fast and Furious far more and in far greater detail than we were first led to believe, it’s hard to keep from thinking that Obama and his underlings have something to hide.

For example, although the administration is playing dumb on the specifics of the operation, Rep. Darrell Issa (R.-Calif.) has learned that White House official Kevin O’Reilly received e-mails from Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) supervisor William Newell about “a 22-year-old kid on State financial assistance [who walked] into a gun store and [plopped] down $12,000 in cash to buy a tripod mounted .50-caliber rifleâ€

this is no longer a constitutional government; this is an "Out Of Control Mafia"

I thought Bush was screwed in the Head; but these people are the Bushes on Steroids

there is No way to justify these actions

American Law's were broken

Mexican Law's were broken

International Law's were broken

Mexican Police are dead; a U.S. Border Patrol agent is dead; Mexicans by the hundreds if not thousands are graveyard dead; Americans are now dead at multiple sites, crime scenes littered with bullit casings from these guns

Not only are these guns deaths not going away anytime soon; more sites in the U.S. are listed weekly of New D.O.J. Gun Running operations in the U.S.

Welcome to 3rd World Violence: A.K.A. your screwed America and Mexico is all but a failed state

How would anyone know for a fact? 1000 weapons, or 10.000 weapons?
When the Hell is this moronic administration going to be held accountable?
Is anyone paying attention besides the very few that seem to get it?
Where is the outrage from law enforcement around the country?
This is a big dangerous deal and Obama and his minions are guilty of felonies. Accessory to murders, aiding and abetting in criminal activity!
When the Hell is this going to be taken as serious as it is?
