#1 [It was always about] under the table effort to institute the gun control Obama knew he could never push through Congress.

And yet another assault on the Second Amendment.

Obama has just issued an executive order which requires gun dealers in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California to report multiple long gun (rifle or shotgun) purchases to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in order to combat illegal firearms trafficking along the Mexican border.

Ordinary long guns (rifles and shotguns) have not had to be registered before so far as I know.

The problem with executive orders and laws ~~interpreted~~ made by agencies in a bureaucracy is that often these are outside the Constitution and the Congressional law-making process.

Unfortunately, Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and Special Agent Jaime Zapata (ICE) died as a result of this operation. It is hard to tell how many Mexican citizens and police officers died as the result Fast and Furious. Some lawsuits have already begun.

#2 "Some lawsuits have already begun."

Which they'll expect us to pay for, if they ~~can't eliminate all the witnesses~~ ~~can't cover up their involvement~~ lose.

#3 If true, this is high treason. The kind that should result in hangings or firing quads.
