Anybody NOT heard about this yet? For obvious reasons the national news media is not talking about it, but I think people ought to know about what their government has been up to.
Basically, the BATF allowed and encouraged a bunch of straw purchases of firearms along the Mecican/US border and facilitated the illegal movement of a bunch of firearms into Mexico. At the time this was happening our anti-gun senators and government leaders were preaching about how guns from the US are fueling Mexican crime. Their intention was to give credibility to a lie in an effort to get public support for their cause of more gun bans here in the US. Whistle blowers from the inside first called attention to this, but were silenced or ignored. Thousand of innocent Mexican citizens were murdered by criminals with these US government supplied guns. The whole thing finally blew up in their face when some "Fast and Furious" guns turned up at the murder scene of a couple of US government agents. The cover up and the refusal to cooperate with a congressional inquiry reaches all the way to the top.
The people responsible for this deserve prison time... or worse.
