#1 Was the Fast & Furious a botched scandal, or a deliberate effort to undermine the Second Amendment?

Get a grip you sound like friggin Pelosi.

#2 If it wasn't "a deliberate effort to undermine the Second Amendment?

Then what was it? Are they really so incompetent that they thought something positive would come from this and if so what?

I really can't think of anything other than trying to set up the various gun dealers.

#3 It is a plausible explanation. They were pushing the "evil guns from the US" story line pretty hard, even though it was contradicted by the actual facts.

#4 This transcends party politics and is "just plain wrong" from a human society standpoint. These would be Maoist tactics; the enabling of the killing of hundreds of people in order to futher a policy position. This is a crime against humanity and any reporter spinning it, glossing it over, refusing to get to the bottom of it is an accessory.

If we don't get to the bottom of this then we transform our country into a place where the killing of hundreds of people to advance policy becomes standard practice. This is world changing, folks. For the sake of our society we have GOT to punish those responsible for this and see that it never happens again.

#5 Remember, it was about this time when Calderon was given permission to address Congress, and he spent the bulk of his time bitching about US guns being used by Mexican bad guys.

I hate to say it, but this is the conclusion I am gravitating towards. It creates chaos, especially on the border, causing a flood of Mexicans to flee north. Well we can't send them back for fear of their lives...wait this just happened right? Someone in the Mexican government had to have known the guns were coming from the US; not suggesting cooperation just yet but knowledge of.

Get your voters, tarnish the 2nd, expand welfare, punish Arizona & Texas. The only downside would be getting caught and nothing is going to stick unless some border agents trys to take down a hard boy with a beanie gun or someone rats.

So who was the local team, which would have to be on the in, at least the big honchos and local managers. What are their background, profile, history? Or is this what is not being released?
