House Republicans are trying to put the brakes on a plan by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to destroy guns linked to the ill-fated Operation Fast and Furious.
The concept of the 2010 ATF operation, under then-President Barack Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder, was that guns would be allowed to be sold to suspected “straw buyers” and then tracked so that federal agents could arrest gun traffickers and disrupt criminal activity in Mexico.
The results were far different, with more than 1,000 of the guns going missing. The debacle came to light when two weapons sold in the scheme were found at the scene of the killing of a Border Patrol agent, according to Fox News.
In an update on the status of the weapons, the ATF informed Congress that they were going to be destroyed, The Washington Times reported last week.
Two Sets of Laws.
YOU sell a criminal (a KNOWN criminal) a gun that is used to murder a cop and you won’t be able to afford the lawyer. Just sell your house and wait for sentencing.
The GOVERNMENT does it and they get to destroy the evidence and retire on a fat pension.
Time for revolution. The ONLY way to fix this trash heap of politicians and corrupt (to the last man) officials.
