If you haven’t heard about the Gun Walker case, it’s time you learned. This was an Obama administration Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms (BATF) program where guns were sneaked across our southern border by Mexican drug dealers. It turns out that these guns were given them by the Obama administration. The idea was that the BATF could trace how guns get disseminated in Mexico. Officials also hoped that the program would help them find where the drug dealers are and if a few people got killed in the process… well, you can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, right?
The BATF program was code named “Fast and Furious.” Naturally it has become quite controversial and has led to much talk that BATF chief Kenneth Melson will be eliminated from that agency – this has yet to occur, though. This scandal is just in the early stages of becoming a major mess to be hung around Obama’s neck so there is no telling where it will end up. Big scandal? Swept under the rug? Could go either way even though it is a major scandal that should sink several members of the Obama admin, if not Obama himself.
In any case, now ABC 15 TV in Phoenix, Arizona is reporting that many of these firearms have made their way back into America from Mexico and right into Phoenix.
For months the ABC15 Investigators have been searching through police reports and official government documents. We’ve discovered assault weapons linked to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ controversial “Fast and Furious” case strategy have turned up at crime scenes in Glendale and Phoenix communities.

The fact is, this was a criminal mistake by Obama’s BATF.
Fortunately, some Republicans in Congress are looking into this matter.
CONGRESSIONAL LEADER RESPONDS
“With people like you down there in Arizona investigating this,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley, (R-Iowa), “and with Congressman Issa and this Senator on the case, they know we’re not going to give up.”
Grassley has been demanding information from ATF leaders, trying to determine who had knowledge of the controversial strategy and when they knew.
His staff also sent public records requests to every sheriff’s department in Arizona and several local Valley departments, requesting information about weapons that have turned up at Valley crime scenes that may have been connected to the Fast and Furious operation.
“Who knows where they’re going to end up,” Grassley said. “There’s ample evidence – even besides your own investigation – that they’ve been used in crimes on this side of the border, but how many? I can’t give you a figure.”
Now let me posit a what-if scenario.
It seems to me that this Obama program had an ulterior motive to the one claimed by the BATF. I posit that this program was also meant to help the gun banners in the USA with their anti-American crusade against the right of self-protection. I think it is likely that Obama intended to use the evidence of US guns in Mexico to call for elimination of our Second Amendment rights. It would be an “emergency,” dontcha know?
Naturally, he never expected it to get out that his own administration was the one putting those American guns in the hands of Mexican murderers and drug dealers, but, well, you know. He expected that part to stay a secret so that he could raise the alarm over a manufactured “problem” he could “solve” with his anti-Second Amendment views.
In any case, not only is Obama responsible for murders in Mexico committed with these “fast and furious” guns, it won’t be long before some Americans are also killed by some of these guns. Actually, it may have already happened and we just don’t now it yet.
