The good news is that the Obama administration is in full defensive mode on Project Gunwalker and people with brighter minds, more free time, and a much broader reach than I are making the same connections I posed back on May 21st.
ATF and Holder, and all the rest of the cranks, insist it was to track the guns to the bad guys. But given the way democrats feel about gun rights you have to wonder if they had other motives. "Finding" American guns in the hands of drug cartels plays right into their rhetoric.
Being who they are, that would demand that they short-stroke this "discovery" into expanding gun control legislation, and I’m not convinced that this was not a convenient side effect if not the entire point of the program.
My conclusion was that previous comments by whacked out leftists about American guns in Mexico was a precursor to the expectation that Gunwalker would eventually prove them right. How convenient that the Obama administration just happened to be running a secret program, at the same time as the remarks, that would provide that very evidence? Bob Ownes over at Pajamas Media is hot on the trail. In his June 20th article he brings the main course to the table.
ATF agents testifying in front of the House Oversight Committee could not explain how the operation was supposed to succeed when their surveillance efforts stopped at the border and interdiction was never an option.
ATF Agent John Dodson, testifying in front of the committee, said that in his entire law enforcement career, he had “never been involved in or even heard of an operation in which law enforcement officers let guns walk.” He continued: “I cannot begin to think of how the risk of letting guns fall into the hands of known criminals could possibly advance any legitimate law enforcement interest.”
Given the dubious nature of the program, cross-border violence perpetrated with weapons purchased in America becomes a more likley goal, and seeing as the program is supported by a manifold of gun haters in the executive branch, brain-walking yourself to the conclusion I posited back in May is easier than finding hypocrisy in the New Hampshire Democrat party; Obama’s boys are manufacturing a crisis to support a thesis; Drug lords use American guns to kill people, including Americans. So the only way to stop it was to control the firearms.
It is, however, beginning to look like the carnage is the result of Leftists willing to end more human life to advance a political agenda and increase federal power over the people. Hardly anything new for the party of death but it looks like the "smartest people in the room" overlooked something. They forgot that there really are decent, law abiding Americans who take their oath to defend and protect our citizens as something other than a gag line at private left wing parties, and public political events. The whistle blowers have blown this wide open and it is only a matter of time before a special prosecutor has to come in and unravel another democrat plot to rob law abiding citizens of their Constitutional rights.
