Fast & Furious Aint just a Movie
WASHINGTON D.C. - One of the most valuable rights cherished by red blooded Americans is the right to bear arms found in the 2nd amendment in the U.S. Constitution. This constitutional right has been under vicious attack for many years, but the current assault by the U.S. Attorney General’s office is unprecedented leaving gun enthusiasts charging treason. The ATF covert operation code named “Fast & Furious” was executed to enact gun law restrictions under a very diabolical plan. Lucky for Americans Fast & Furious was exposed with U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s hand in the cookie jar. Holder seems to be covering for President Obama whether the Commander & Chief was involved in circumventing America’s gun rights.
Fast & Furious is an ATF operation that allowed Mexican drug lords to purchase fire power in the U.S. illegally and transport these high powered weapons over the international border. Theoretically, the guns were suppose to have tracking devices as to ultimately catch the end-buyer, the drug lord not the runner, and charge with federal fire arm violations in cooperation with Mexican authorities. The problem started when gun shop owners on the Mexican border called in suspicious buys to ATF. Shop owners were told to allow the sale without the tracking devices in violation of established ATF protocol. Now here comes the fix on your rights.
While these arms were being funneled into Mexico without anyone’s knowledge leaving Mexico to ignorantly deal with an explosion of gun related murders. Back in the U.S. the Obama Administration demonized the American gun shop owners alleging that “it’s too easy to buy a gun in America,” and called for more regulation of our Constitutional right to own and obtain guns. The blame of the rise in violent crime was laid to the feet all gun owners. Many of the fully-automatic-assault weapons funneled into Mexico with the Obama administration’s blessing returned in the hands of the cartels killing multiple U.S. citizens and Border Patrol agents. Obama and Holder have denied knowledge & envolvement, but the Congressional investigation by Rep. Darrell Issa proved that the operation against the American people originated with Eric Holder and most possibly President Obama himself. Eric Holder was briefed on this operation, but now claims to have never read the briefing documents in question. This answer is not only insufficient but it is insulting to the families of two murdered federal officers and to the people of this country.
In December 2011 Holder dumped approximately 5,000 documents to congressional investigators proving that the Holder’s Office had full knowledge of the illegal gun running operation at the same time he used the Mexican gun related violence to call for outlawing certain arms and increase the difficulty of legally obtaining a fire arm. Holder is holding back his government and personal emails … some believe to be the smoking gun. Were it not for ten or so patriotic ATF officers that blew the whistle on this anti-American operation the public would never had known and law abiding citizens would have had their rights taken confiscated by an astro-turf manufactured crisis conjured up by this hate America administration.
On April 16, 2009, President Obama visited Mexico and while there he commented on the drug war, saying, “This war is being waged with guns purchased not here but in the United States, more than 90% of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States, many from gun shops that lay on our shared border.” President Obama was not being honest then, and he is not being honest now about what he knew about Fast and Furious. Where there is smoke there is fire!
Whether you are an occupy protesting Democrat or a Tea Party Conservative, or in between, understand that your current government tried to circumvent the U.S. citizens’ inalienable right to own and buy arms by creating a crisis to blaming citizens (you and me). Many Florida Sentry readers have concealed weapons permits and legally shoot at the gun range regularly. As complicated as this scandal may be the focus must remain on the preservation of our Constitutional rights. This election cycle we must pay attention to the issues/candidates because too many of our vets lost their limbs and friends defending the Constitution for some community organizer to delete it with a smear and a lie.
