California Representative Darrell Issa is angry. According to information he has gleaned the cover-up by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) in their selling of weapons to Mexican drug cartels reaches all the way to the top of the Bureau...and higher. But he isn't allowed to know about it, and neither are you.
BATF agents on the ground strongly opposed the move that sold AK-47s and .50 caliber sniper rifles to drug lords. But those higher up pushed this through, and a U.S. agent was killed by guns allowed sold by his own agency. Now they are stonewalling and Issa wants answers. ATF director was able to watch live video feeds of the gun sales as they were held, from his Washington, D.C. office. But the authority for these purchases could reach even higher, into the inner circle of the Obama administration.
While the BATF doesn't want you or me to own guns of these sorts, they are willing to sell them to Mexican drug lords. Then, they tell us that their guns are coming from the U.S. (secretly aided by our government). This gives them the reason they need to restrict legal gun sales to free citizens of the U.S.A. It's a huge problem that is orchestrated by the left, to try and kill gun rights for Americans. And it's not going away any time soon because the Obama administration has their sticky fingerprints all over this one. Will the truth come out? Keep watching, and keep calling, to keep the pressure on. More will certainly come out of this scandal in days to come.

Bobby J,
Deeper than that.

Dennis,
Sometimes CIA, DEA have gone rogue rather than part of an elaborate centralized plan. These guys have financial pressure, dreams and desires just like the rest of us. DEA and CIA agents make millions running drugs and guns. Congress has no clue. You think a bunch of elected suits comprehend what specialized, all powerful agents in Columbia and Mexico are up to, I don’t.

Powerball, I agree with you 100%!
I have written about a person I know that lives in Ciudad Juarez. He was in Columbia during the Iran-contra scandal. He is a retired Catholic Priest. He knows that the US government is not interested in sealing our Southern border, nor are they interested in stemming the flow of illicit drugs from Mexico.
This ATF-gun scandal is nothing more than covert support for one drug cartel over another, in an effort to manipulate events in Mexico to the favor of the powers-to-be in the USA. This will be found out, with enough unhindered investigation. Watch as obama's hair turns white over the next year.
This runs deeper than any of us know.

If you haven't noticed by now, everything Obama has done is antiAmerican! Everything!
Give him four years and people sense it.
Give him four more and America will be gone because there will not be another election he would fear.
In fact, at that point, I believe Obama would dismiss Congress and the Supreme Court and declare himself King.
There has never been a man I detest more!!
He should be tried for treason!

Statists often rebut anarchocapitalism with fanciful stories of tribes and gangs ruling the day. These statist fail to realize CIA, DEA, ATF, FED Reserve, etc. are the violent tribes and gangs who rule the day.

Of course, are we surprised, NOT..Why do you think that the Obama administration does not want a border fence or border security.......His motto is " Let em in, they'll vote for me".
