Project Gunrunner and Operation Fast and Furious: Obama is Accommodating Guns into Mexico

I have warned you. Obama and gun grabbing Democrats are going to use the gun violence in Mexico to place further restrictions on firearms ownership in the United States. They are going to push the blame on small businesses that operate gun stores that operated around the border, but it appears that it may be Obama and the federal government that are really pushing the guns into Mexico to escalate the crisis.

Project Gunrunner and Operation Fast and Furious may be the vehicle Obama is using for more gun control Consider this chilling information from the Daily Caller:

In Project Gunrunner, ATF allowed American guns – including AK-47 assault rifles and military-grade, .50 caliber sniper rifles – to be smuggled into Mexico and sold to drug cartels, with the goal of tracking the weapons after they’ve been used.

The project began during the Bush administration in Laredo, Texas, in 2005 as a trial, morphing into a national program in 2006. The guns were sold and tracked electronically, giving law enforcement agents valuable intelligence on where the weapons went and who had them.

During the Bush years, no guns were allowed to cross the border into Mexico. When President Obama took office in 2009, things changed. Obama’s ATF continued Project Gunrunner, but made a crucial decision to allow guns to be “walked” into Mexico, eventually ending up in the hands of Mexican drug cartels.

The results, in at least one instance, were tragic. Two AK-47s ATF officials were tracking were found at the scene of U.S. border agent Brian Terry’s murder.


So it's the federal government allowing firearms, firearms like an AK47 that can't be purchased at Mom and Pop gun stores, to cross the border, all the while the Obama administration and gun grabbers are blaming the little guy. It's shameful!
