Sen. Feinstein: Lax gun control is real 'problem' with Fast and Furious
 Democratic Caliphornia Sen. Dianne Feinstein told a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that lax gun control laws, not B.O. regime malfeasance within the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATF), was the real problem uncovered by Operation Fast and Furious."My concern, Mr. Chairman, is there's been a lot said about Fast and Furious, and perhaps mistakes were made, but I think this hunt for blame doesn't really speak about the problem," Feinstein said during the Tuesday hearing. "And the problem is, anybody can walk in and buy anything, .50-caliber weapons, sniper weapons, buy them in large amounts, and send them down to Mexico. So, the question really becomes, what do we do about this?" "I've been here 18 years," Feinstein continued. "I've watched the BATF get beaten up at every turn on the road. And, candidly, it's just not right." Posted by: Fred 2011-11-02 |
