Issa said there is no evidence. He could have added a "yet" to the end of that statement. There was no hard evidence on Nixon or Clinton for a long time either. Eventually, in both cases, they got the hard evidence of wrongdoing. When something doesn't pass the smell test, there is usually something behind it causing the smell!! Republicans in no way, shape or form support breaking laws allowing 2500+ assault weapons go to drug cartels! I'm really surprised that Democrats and liberals do!
You know the left is in full panic mode when they have to resort to changing the dialogue by asking the wrong questions. obama-holder is going down. And there is nothing you can do to stop it.
Hey liberals, guns don't kill people, POOR MINORITIES DO! But liberals love bringing in more poor minorities. So obviously liberals do not really care about gun violence that much after all. I just find it so amusing that (some) liberals claim that gun violence is so bad that guns should be illegal, while at the same time celebrating "diversity".
The gun dealers were told to break the law....by the Obama administration!! You're correct.....what good is gun control and gun laws when we've got an administration that devises a plan for these assault weapons to be placed into the hands of KNOWN murderers and drug dealers. Remember the speech designed to push for gun bans where Obama complained that 90% of the guns in Mexico killing people were coming from the U.S.??? Pretty telling.
He died because our incompetent government armed your murderous narco terrorists with machine guns. Krauthammer isn't the nutjob represented in this thread.
Democrats and liberals love social engineering. They'll never miss a chance to show you how much smarter than you they are by making you change your entire life to fit their ideals. Look at smoking. People smoked for years and nobody gave it any grief. But, with the introduction of second hand smoke, the democrats can now shame you into going outside or outright quitting. That's what fast and furious was. It was second hand smoke, except with guns. By showing how our gun rights were killing people in another country, obama-holder were trying to shame us in to accepting greater restrictions on those rights. And, it would have worked has someone with a conscious not come forward about the death of Brian Terry.
Thinking conservatives would want to arm a bunch of drug cartels to destabilize our third largest trading partner speaks volumes in and of itself about people daft enough to even insinuate such nonsense.
Keymanjim: "Look at smoking. People smoked for years and nobody gave it any grief. But, with the introduction of second hand smoke, the democrats can now shame you into going outside or outright quitting." Are you crazy? There's no shaming involved. It's illegal. I was smoking and out came a brownshirt who said, "It's illegal to smoke within 25' of a window." "The window doesn't open. It's a solid piece of glass." "Doesn't matter. Put out that cigarette or I'm calling the police." NO, no shaming at all. Bars will be smoke free. What if I own a bar and wish to cater only to smokers. "Not allowed. If one smoker wants to go in they're entitlted to a smoke-free environment." Oh, they love that word, entitled. No, it has nothing to do with shaming. It has to do with illegal. As it stands now in most of the U.S. you are free to buy your child a Happy Meal or not buy your child a Happy Meal. You having a choice drives liberals--the anti-choice folks--totally nuts. You will do what you are told to do or you will suffer legal action up to and including prison sentences. Buying your child a Happy Meal on his birthday will be illegal. Liberals were shocked that cigarettes costing almost $12 a pack in New York has spawned a major smuggling industry. Imagine that. The liberal dream is to make all the taxes federal so the smuggling will not be from another state but will be forced offshore and all those loyal Americans in the cigarette smuggling industry will be out of work.
Perfect post... You don't put guns in the hands of the Mexican Drug Cartel. Why we have to explain this to lefties is amazing.
Hey righties people don't kill people GUNS DO But righties provide the guns and pull the triggers. Jail the lot and there'd be scarcely any murders.
The person killed the agent. That doesn't mean we should be supplying the gun to carry it out. Your premise is retarded and serves no purpose. /thread
actually its liberals who give the firepower to criminals and they use them to kill people. good to know liberals are down with blood sacrifice of innocent people in order to try and make a point. im sure the liberals are very pleased with the blood spilled.
You don't have any liberals - just right-wing conservatives and racist nutters. What are you talking about?
You do know that Mexico has STRICT GUN LAWS dont you? And we armed the cartels still... Nice attempt at a spin job but you failed yet again.
Mexico has STRICT GUN CONTROL already. Second time mentioning this. And we "lost" guns there anyways without the Mexican Governments knowledge of the Operation. Liken Mexico doesnt have enough issues with the Cartels now we arm them? Not only that but its our failed War on Drugs and Border that allow those Cartels to get rich.
Not a gun control issue. This happened because of the inexperience and incompetence of this administration. They don't know what they are doing.
Stick to coloring books. Obama and Holder are now "righties"? Atleast the other trolls on this forum put some effort into their trolling.
I guess he is saying if we hadn't allowed people to buy guns and ship them to drug smugglers this border patrol agent would still be alive. Do you know there is a law on the books that if a person buys more than one handgun from the same shop in one week, it must be reported to authorities. But you could buy as many long guns as you want and not have to report that.
Yes, that is the point that this program was intended to make. Send guns into Mexico and when hundreds of Mexicans and a few Americans got killed with them the dems would have a better chance of getting more gun banns. But some of the DEA people didn't like not being allowed to do their jobs and told Congress what was happening. Now we have Holder and BH Obama by the nuts for being part of such an insidious scheme. I expect both of them to be tried for treason in the next few years.
Jed is making a very juvenile argument that is popular on the left at the moment mocking conservatives who have long opposed gun control on the basis that the guns have no will of their own and depend on a criminal to make them deadly. It's a pretty childish reaction on the left's part but they are in a bad situation trying to deflect criticism of Obama and Holder and so they are grasping at straws - and straw men.
