Why it had to be created
Fast and furious, that is:
“Having worked in Mexico, Central America, and northern South America, I can tell you the guns are not coming from the US . . . They come mostly from Asia, Eastern Europe–including Russia and Ukraine–and from stocks of older weapons held in Central America from years of warfare, and the overwhelming majority of those are of Soviet/Russian/Chinese design and fabrication.”

As crazy as the conspiracy theory is that the purpose of FnF was to promote gun control in America, the bizarre fact is that theory is the most plausible explanation for the true purpose of FnF. Otherwise how does one explain the inexplicable methods used in FnF?
If the purpose was to bush Mexican drug lords, then why no involvement of the Mexican Government? Who were already waist deep in blood in a violent confrontation with the drug cartels?
Did the ATF seriously believe they could extradite any suspects for trial in America after pulling such a stunt on the government of Mexico? Did the DOJ believe that?
It actually makes the gun-control conspiracy theory plausible!
And isn’t it a Federal crime to facilitate the illegal export of weapons to another nation? Isn’t that what got the Reagan administration in trouble back in 1986? Why no prosecutions against those involved in FnF today? Why do they get a pass?

Sec of St Clinton and Atty Gen Holder admitted the pretext before Fast and Furious reports came out. They were openly blaming the 2nd Amendment rights of U.S. citizens as the culprit for the violence in Me’ico. So arms were made available to foreign drug cartels. This is clearly “treason” according to the wording of Article III, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution. It’s outrageous and flagrant, in-your-face criminality!

No, no, no — get with the program.
Repeat after me: “Mexican drug cartels are getting their grenades, rocket launchers, and machine guns exclusively from American gun shows, no questions asked.”
Otherwise: RAAACISTSSS!!!
