going off on a slight tangent here- regarding the mess at WAKO a few years ago with that David Koresh bloke.
After the shooting stopped, the smoke cleared, and the investigation was done and dusted- it was found that koresh and his mob had done nothing illegal to warant the BATF and federal govt. to stomp them into the dirt.
The allegations of child abuse, illegal weapons dealing etc were found to be just that- dodgy allegations, but the feds could not afford to be seen to back down as they would have lost face...so the federal steamroller kept on rolling until the job was over- shooting from helicopters (later denying it- but the bullet holes were found to be fired from above where there were choppers hovering), pumping lethal amounts of tear gas into sealed buildings- and not letting the occupants out, then they went and destroyed as much evidence as they could- pushing wreckage and shot-up vehicles over with bulldozers and tanks.
Recently, the USA federal govt. arranged for thousands of weapons to be supplied to mexican criminals- supposedly in an effort to track how weapons smuggling was being organised. but they forgot to tell the mexican govt.
then these firearms started showing up in the hands of drug smuggling operations crossing the border into the USA- and US border patrol blokes were killed by these weapons.
Now Obama's boys are trying to hush it all up!
I'm not going to go on about the Jews, 9/11 etc.. but... SN has it right. These are exactly the sort of things American gun owners are concerned about.
The Mexican situation is being downplayed by our liberal media, most Americans have no idea what it's about.
Basically it was an attempt by the very anti-gun Obama administration to orchestrate a situation where American gun dealers could be blamed for Mexican drug running violence. Then they could crack down on American gun dealers.
Mexican Americans in the US legally went to gun dealers located near the Mexican border and attempted to legally buy large quantities of semi-auto assault style rifles, the dealers were justifiably suspicious and notified the Federal agency, but they told them to go ahead and let the purchases go thru.
The end result has been hundreds of people murdered including Federal agents.
Several people blew the whistle and the ** has hit the fan, our Attorney General is in serious trouble, probably will get sacked and if he's lucky will avoid jail time, we'll see.
