Obama Admin Funnels Illegal Guns & Blames You!



For two years, we've been hearing from U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and others in the Obama administration about a so-called 'iron pipeline' of American guns across the border.

In order to make sure that "pipeline" really existed, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), allowed about 1,765 firearms over 15 months to go from gun dealers in the U.S. to straw buyers that were the accomplices of a gun running ring set up by the ATF.

Gun shops wanted to stop the questionable sales, but ATF encouraged them to continue.

In order for the Obama Administration to prove there were guns going to Mexico, they set up an operation in order to send guns to Mexico.

This is criminal!

Especially because two assault rifles found at the scene of U.S. Border Agent Brian Terry's death on December 14, 2010, were traced to these ATF "gun runner" sales.

The ATF allowed thousands of weapons to cross the US border into Mexico, knowing they were likely to be acquired and used by Mexico's drug cartels... and they were---they were used to kill one of our own border agents!

The Justice Department, which oversees ATF, says in a letter the agency has never knowingly allowed the sale of assault weapons to suspected gunrunners.

But all the evidence suggests otherwise. This is a cover-up at the highest levels of our government!

Clearly, the ATF has a very political agenda in mind, and that is to take away your gun rights---even if it means allowing gun sales to criminals so they can present "evidence" to the administration that the Second Amendment should be restricted or abolished!

This administration will do whatever it takes to destroy our Second Amendment rights!

The ATF is under threat of a 13% budget cut. They claim funding cuts will hurt their efforts to prevent firearms trafficking on the Mexican border---trafficking that they themselves have manufactured.

While the Obama administration was blaming our gun rights for the drug war violence in Mexico, its very own gun sting operation looks to have been a major source of illicit firearms.

ATF officials refused to grant CBS News an interview when CBS started looking into the allegations of corruption... but whistleblowers within the agency have been more than willing to speak out about what they saw. However, most of them don't want to be quoted by name for fear of retaliation.

One agent asked a superior, "Are you prepared to go to the funeral of a federal officer killed with one of these guns?"

Another agent said, "We were fully aware the guns would probably be moved across the border to drug cartels where they could be used to kill."

Another agent said, "With the number of guns we let walk, we'll never know how many people were killed, raped, robbed... there is nothing we can do to round up those guns. They are gone."

And yet another simply called the operation, "insane."

The accusations against ATF and DOJ officials include:

They intentionally allowed perhaps as many as 3,000 firearms to "walk" across the U.S. border into Mexico.

They instructed U.S. gun dealers to proceed with questionable and illegal sales of firearms to suspected gunrunners.

They intentionally withheld information about U.S.-sanctioned gun smuggling from the Mexican government.

One of the guns ATF allowed or helped to be smuggled into Mexico was involved in the death of CBP Agent Brian Terry.
Anti-gun activists, led by the Obama administration, are doing all they can to make the connection between law-abiding citizens and deranged criminals---even standing by while known drug dealers purchase guns on our soil and take them back to Mexico... and then use them to take the lives of our brave border agents!

We are seeing the lengths this administration will go to, in their efforts to take away our gun rights. This will not stand.
