There have been many whistleblowers and leaks over the years that all point to letter agencies colluding with these cartels to earn money for their agency's programs. Arrested traffickers have backed this story up. It would explain a largely unlimited budget and reasons why we have made this failing "war" a highly appropriated portion of federal and LOEs budgets. The fact is "capitalists" who believe in free market's ability to survive shut their eyes and ears to any mention of why the black market is thriving. There is nothing that can be done about drugs. People will find some way to get them, even if they have to create crazy drugs like bath salts. Humans simply choose to alter their state, be it alcohol or something harder. Right now, our policies only promote extreme wealth and terror. End the drug war, find a way to tax and regulate it, and it will improve our economy and cut costs by half a trillion.
Jesus, how many times do we need to explain this. The gun running program was stupid, it was stupid when Bush did it and stupid today. The problem with this case, is that we are trying to figure out why the agent was killed with these guns, and why the AG lied to congress about what he knew. Basically we want to know why it is being covered up. And please show us where conservatives are on board with allowing felons, drug dealers and drug runners to buy guns? thanks
The OP is an idiot. I am all for gun control, but's it's the person pulling the trigger that kills someone, not the gun, and that is why we need to do more to make sure that crazies and psychos don't get guns. I sy that a mental exam is needed before you can own a gun. If you fail, you lose your gun rights.
You can't get this so out of context.Where did Krauthammer mention " Guns ". He cited the " Operation " Not any Guns.
I have a hundred dollar bill for you if you can show me a gun that, of it's own free will, walked up and shot anyone or anything.
I have no problem with your thread, attempting to turn the death of a US law enforcement officer into your own political gain. The reason I have no problem with it is your asinine argument is easily defeated: we already do have Gun Control nearly all Conservatives support: we stand in favor of preventing guns from being sold to violent felons. What I'm wondering is why the thread started by TheHat about the life-saving surgery on the fetus isn't granted the same courtesy by liberals.
Weak at best. Without a person pulling the trigger, a gun does nothing. Back to the drawing board for you. Did you really think you had something here???? Seriously????
Why don't you debate this in the Gun Control Section? As for gun control at large---do think outlawing certain types of guns is more effective crime control, or severely punishing the thugs who use them in crimes a more effective policy? I wouldn't be suprised if you are yet another liberal that cries more for the felons than their victims.
Okay, let's have everyone win (or loose). People kill people, and guns kill people, and nerve gas kills people, and war kills people, and disease kills people, and time kills people, and so on...
I wonder if that evidence is in the documents Obama is witholding? What is President Transparency hiding?
If there had been more gun control there would have been more in the U.S. dead. Its Mexicans that are out of control. Along with the Ubama admin.
And you really believe that would of stopped the Mexicans from getting the guns elsewhere. What a shame. You lefties are not only blind your also brainwashed.
1) you can choose where you go 2) no where I know of... Leftys will get their due, when their life styles are deemed more dangerous than conservatives, by the very insurance companys who wrote ObamaCare. The gay lifestyle is twice as deadly as smoking.
We don't give madmen the means to murder people, no. Why would we behave like you drunken nutters when we see what it means?
All they want to do is protect their almighty leader along with Holder no matter what it takes. Even when the truth comes out they will do the same.
I think you misread Message to Garcia's statement - unless I misread yours as disagreeing. MTG is saying that it wasn't Conservatives who armed drug cartels to destabilize Mexico.
Ya know what I don't like: it's when those (*)(*)(*)(*)ed drones decide to delay a mission, and swing through a McDonald's drive-thru.
No matter how hard I try, I cannot talk my guns in to escaping from the safe, loading themselves with ammunition and run around shooting people. Lazy guns!
There is somebody controlling the drone. BZZZZZZ oooops, sorry contestant, you don't win the 100 bucks.
I can't believe this is supposed to be a left/right issue. Seems ironic (being kind) that liberals so fearful of the corporate oligarchy taking over would not support the right to bear arms. Weird.
