It's funny how some people are actually afraid that he'll take everyone's guns away.

Yeah, but he was a conservative republican so it was to be expected of him to support violent religious regimes.

lol that is an interesting interpretation of the F&F scandal. I bet you read two whole articles by Michelle Malkin before coming to that conclusion!

You're making it sound like anything but the sale of guns to cartels. Sure, they were going to track the guns but they still sold illegal assault firearms (you know, the kind that law-abiding citizens are not allowed to own) to criminals (law-abiding citizens have to go through background checks and restrictions and all sorts of other hoops to get legal firearms, let alone class-3 full-auto assault rifles made before 1986 since those after 1986 are illegal for citizens).

Not the same thing as selling illegal assault firearms, thanks.

@previous (Fake anon !ZkUt8arUCU)
The guns they sold were semi-automatic AK47s that are unbelievably easy to convert to full-auto. That, in itself, may not be illegal, but selling them to illegal strawbuyers makes them illegal.

Yes they sold guns to people who were not legally allowed to buy them, but the guns themselves were legal to sell. That is the only clarification I wanted to make.

For an encore are you going to rant about real cars or actual drugs being used in sting operations to catch drug and auto-theft rings?

Anonymous E replied with this 14 years ago, 7 minutes later, 2 hours after the original post[^] [v] #349,202

@previous (F)
The cars were used to commit crimes so therefore the car companies sold ILLEGAL CARS!

They were legal to sell to those whom are legal to be sold guns to. And those who buy for the cartel already know how to turn a semi-auto AK47 into a full-auto AK47.
@349,196 (F)
Maybe the government should sell children as sex slaves on the street as part of sting operations. What can go wrong? Nothing. Nothing can go wrong.
@previous (E)
Are you fucking serious? They sold guns to those they knew were going to use them for illegal purposes. They knew they were going to be sold to the fucking drug cartels. They knew that hundreds of people would end up dead thanks to this gigantic fuck-up. And you're somehow okay with this? Fine. The government should be able to sell guns to literally everyone then. Sell them to the mentally ill. Sell them to convicted murderers. Sell them to prison inmates. Sell them to school children. What could go wrong? What the fuck could go wrong?

Calm down bro. Most of the facts of the case are still classified, the Justice Department inquiry isn't completed, and you're jumping to the most extreme possible conclusion. Just relax and stop getting so arg over something that has yet to fully unfold.

Clearly, Obama's administration is the most transparent administration of all.

Extreme. Right... Hundreds have died because of this, and you have the nerve to call me extreme?
> Just relax and stop getting so arg over something that has yet to fully unfold.
Why the fuck should I relax? Oh, right. The government will clean up the mess. Yep... they'll do a great job of being honest and not destroying/distorting/forging evidence.

As President, he's aware of the degree to which drug sales finance CIA Black Ops. IT also has the very desirable side effect of helping the Mexicans to kill each other off. That's just good business.

If the American public were intelligent, he'd be bragging about this instead of some failed green energy bullshit. But alas, that'd be asking too much.

Obama: yet another failure of a president that will be loved by all in its party. Just like Reagan.
