Posted by Kromey at 9:01pm Feb 17 '12After the Senate voted unanimously (that's bi-partisanship and reaching across the aisle!) last year to ban unmonitored gun-walking operations in the wake of the disastrous Fast and Furious schemes, Obama's 2013 budget buries a provision deep within it that would effectively repeal that measure entirely.
It doesn't matter which side of the gun rights debate you're on -- letting guns go untracked across the border to fuel the Mexican cartels' violence is simply unconscionable! So why does Obama want to do it again?
Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, has been investigating the administration's role in Fast and Furious. When asked by The Washington Times about the White House attempt to change policy, the California Republican replied, "It's bewildering that anyone would seek to strip a legal prohibition on federal agents walking guns, considering the well-known tragic consequences."Bewildering to some, downright horrifying to others!
