BATF, FBI Allowed Felons To Buy Guns

Senator Charles Grassley, the Senate Judiciary partner in the Gun Runner investigation, publicly declared his theory about the true purpose of the operation.  “My suspicion is they don’t like the Second Amendment the way it is, and they are going to do everything to hurt guns and restrict guns.  So they could have been building a case for that.  But I can’t prove that.”

This blog has long ago drawn that conclusion. Gun Runner was a deliberate conspiracy by people in the Obama to undermine the Constitution, specifically the second amendment to that Constitution. A Constitution that Obama has sworn to protect and defend. Two points:

• The US Embassy in Mexico was obviously kept in the dark in respect to Gun Runner. The embassy was feeling heat from the Mexican government and tried to prod the BATF into action but to no avail. Quoting from the L A Times;

FoxNews correspondent,William La Jeunesse, whom we have previously cited on this blog dug into the background of two of the twenty men arrested in a roundup in Phoenix, At that time La Jeunesse reported that all but one of those arrested were released the next day. But being a dedicated reporter he dug further and found two of the small time hoods had criminal records. Criminal records, yet they were able to purchase firearms even after the mandated FBI checks were run. Someone in the FBI had to allow that to occur. When he was presented with La Jeunesse's discovery Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., a former federal prosecutor and a member of the House Government Oversight and Reform Committee responded, "You cannot sanction the violation of federal law by enabling or co-enabling prohibited persons, which includes felony convictions, from purchasing firearms,"
