We Need to Sell Guns to Mexico So They Can Be Used In Crimes and Give us An Excuse to Ban Them

That title pretty much sums up Operation Fast and Furious, the plan by the Administration to funnel assault weapons to Mexican drug gangs and then trace the resultant crimes.  Of course, the ultimate goal is to come up with any excuse to ban guns.  From the Daily Caller:

Fast and Furious and Nixonian -- TheDC's Jeff Poor reports: "Although it hasn’t gotten much mainstream media attention, the Operation Fast and Furious scandal could rank up there with the Nixon administration cover-up of the Watergate break-in, according to Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume... 'This Obama Justice Department reminds me of nothing so much as the Nixon Justice Department,” he said. 'You have the scent of high-level knowledge of serious wrongdoing and you have the smell of cover-up and I think the stench of cover-up on this gun-running operation is very strong indeed.' Operation Fast and Furious was a program in which the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Justice Department allowed guns to be taken into Mexico via 'straw purchasers,' or people who were eligible to purchase guns in the United States, but were doing so with the known intention of trafficking them into Mexico." And now those guns are being used to kill people, including federal agents. This could reflect very badly on Obama, which is why you haven't heard much about it on the news.

Obama is expected to release new plans for gun control regulation in the coming days. The assault on freedom continues unabated.
