Gunrunner: weapons found at dozens of crime scenes

July 26, 2011

  According to a Congressional report 122 weapons sold to Mexican criminals by the Obama regime either turned up at crime scenes or were intercepted while making their way to crime scenes on at least 48 different occasions. The “Justice” Department is challenging this number, saying it can only confirm 96 weapons were recovered during this botched operation at or on their way to crime scenes.

  Okay, let us give the Obama regime the benefit of the doubt because the actual number doesn’t matter at this point, and there isn’t much use squabbling over 122 vs 96; somewhere around 100 weapons which the government sold to criminals have turned up at crime scenes, and we must remember that we have no idea how many crimes were committed with these very same weapons before they were recovered at their final crime.

  But even this isn’t the worst part of the Congressional report:

Of the 2,000 weapons sold to the suspected gun traffickers, just over half remain unaccounted for, the report added. The ATF was unaware of most of the gun sales when they occurred, according to the Justice Department, which oversees it.

“Given the vast amount of ‘Operation Fast and Furious’ weapons possibly still in the hands of cartel members, law enforcement officials should expect more seizures and recoveries at crime scenes,” the congressional report said.

  Let me get this straight: according to the official story, the United States government forced these gun shops to sell weapons to criminals while ignoring the gun shops owners’ concerns that something was amiss, and they did this because they were going to track the weapons to high level Mexican drug lords, but yet the Obama regime has no idea in hell where over half of these weapons are?!

  Kenneth Melson testified before the Congress that these weapons were never tracked after the initial sale and I think it is becoming more and more obvious that he is telling the truth. While hundreds of Mexicans have died because of this operation, and while at least two Americans have died because of this operation, the sad fact is that there are still people in danger because of this operation. The killing and the crime spree sanctioned and made possible by the United States government through its botched operation is far from over. How many more people have to die before Eric Holder and Barack Obama are held responsible?

    When all is said and done I think Obama and Holder should be extradited to Mexico. We’ll see if the Legals down there like them as much as the Illegals do here.

    It seems obvious that tracking the weapons was never the real priority of this cluster F-bomb.

    People are so quick to believe this nonsense. I mean are we really to believe they were selling weapons to some of the most notorious drug cartels in Mexico so we could track down their location…and do what. How many actual arrest were made? Do we have that number? This was about planting weapons from the U.S. in Mexico to help make the case for need for more gun control. As despicable as this sounds, it the most believable Steve. Great post.

      Thank you. I would love to know what the number of arrests made because of this program are, that is a great question.
