You really can’t make this garbage up: “Most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States,” President Obama said during a speech at Mexico’s Anthropology Museum [Friday]. “I think many of you know that in America, our Constitution guarantees our individual right to bear arms. And as president, [...]
**Posted by Phineas That would be Operation Fast and Furious, the “felony stupid” investigation during which the BATF, with DoJ approval, knowingly allowed thousands of heavy firearms to be purchased by straw buyers, after which they were walked across the border into the waiting, murderous arms of Mexican drug cartels. And, so far, over 300 [...]
**Posted by Phineas No word on whether any weapons were recovered or, if there were, if they’ve been tied to Fast and Furious, but it’s nice to see some suspects brought in quickly: Mexican troops have arrested two suspects in the killing of a U.S. Border Patrol agent and the wounding of a second officer [...]

The firearm [...]

I’ve said before that the number of Mexican soldiers, federal agents, police and civilians killed by weapons allowed to “walk” over the border into Mexico under the Department of Justice’s “sting” operation has amounted to at least 300, per the Mexican Attorney General. Here are some specifics, [...]
**Posted by Phineas In an article last July about possible White House knowledge of Operation Fast and Furious, I quoted the following from a CBS report: At a lengthy hearing on ATF’s controversial gunwalking operation today, a key ATF manager told Congress he discussed the case with a White House National Security staffer as early [...]
**Posted by Phineas Time to clear out some backlogged links; I think you’ll find something worth reading under each category: MEDIA: If you’ve ever doubted that the MSM is full of hypocritical cowards, this should clear things right up: BBC Chief admits Christianity treated worse than other religions. And by “other religions,” I don’t think [...]
