    ATF: WTF?????

    they let thousands of guns walk into mexico, even en alerted by dealers about questionable customers , even .50s to see where they would end up.

    Program aimed at stopping the flow of weapons from the US to Mexico may have allegedly had the opposite effect


    CBSNews)

    WASHINGTON - Keeping American weapons from getting into the hands of Mexican gangs is the goal of a program called "Project Gunrunner." But critics say it's doing exactly the opposite. CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson reports on what she found.

    December 14, 2010. The place: a dangerous smuggling route in Arizona not far from the border. A special tactical border squad was on patrol when gunfire broke out and agent Brian Terry was killed.

    Kent, Brian's brother, said "he was my only brother. That was the only brother I had. I'm lost."

    The assault rifles found at the murder were traced back to a U.S. gun shop. Where they came from and how they got there is a scandal so large, some insiders say it surpasses the shoot-out at Ruby Ridge and the deadly siege at Waco.

    Things would be clearer if you would use the "quote" button - looks like a little 'speech balloon' - or manually insert QUOTE /QUOTE enclosed in "[ ]"

      I doubt the "scandal" surpasses Ruby Ridge or Waco. WTF are they talking about? A young boy was gunned down while running away and a mother shot while holding her baby. This crap really pisses me off! People forget so quickly...

            Why did I guess this is what it was going to be about? Is it the daily topic to post about?

              I wouldn't put it past the BATF to do something as sleazy as that, but at the same time, the video seemed to have it's own agenda. I tend to not trust newscasts that are very one sided and do things like only quote single words from a source ( i.e. "insane.") They could very well be telling us the whole truth, but they presented it in a way that looked, at least to me, like they weren't being upfront about everything.

                  i don't think it's meant to belittle those tragedies, I think they are trying to say that this gun running scandal is as much an abuse of power and a slap in the face of american's and our rights by the ATF as those tragedies. Everyone knows how increadibly bad the ATF screwed the pooch on those ones, and this is such a huge F--- up that it can only be compared to those. I hope the director of the ATF is brought before criminal court and forced to answer some serious questions before getting sent to jail for a long time.

                  Most civilization is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame.

                    It's BHO's special task force in action. Find a reason to blame US FFL's, by making that reason materialize with BHO gov/ATF help!

                      It'll be crazy if this scandal blows open and they end up tracing it back to Holder. There's some serious shadiness going down.

                        I'm afraid it will only be sensationalized by the media for a short time and then the sheeple will fall back asleep.
