Obama Admin. Pushes to Restrict 2nd Amendment after Arming Mexican Cartels

It's an amazing show of absolute hypocrisy or a terribly cold-blooded power play. Either way, the Obama Administration is showing a shocking lack of common sense and prudence with its latest push for comprehensive gun control.

As late as 2011, the Department of Justice was giving automatic assault weapons to Mexican drug cartels. In case you have forgotten, the Obama Administration's disastrous "Operating Fast and Furious" allowed the sale of weapons (worth over one million dollars) to drug lords; these guns were then allowed to "walk." In other words, the DoJ stopped monitoring their movements.

This tremendous stupidity had the precise consequences you might expect: as of September 2011, US assault weapons connected to Fast and Furious were found at 170 crime scenes in Mexico. As of March 2011, 150 Mexicans had been shot because of Fast and Furious. US Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in cold blood.
Mr. Terry
All this blood shed falls directly on the Obama Administration's hands. The President himself has callously defended Attorney General, stooping so low as to lie about the Bush Administration's supposed involvement in the scheme (which did not exist).

The official line of the current administration, through both actions and words, has made it abundantly clear that, while they admit mistakes were made in Fast and Furious, the idea to arm Mexican drug cartels was sound. Something that is not: allowing American citizens to own assault weapons.

In the wake of the tragic shootings in Newtown, the Obama Administration's outlines to limit gun ownership are taking form. Everyone must have a background check to own any firearm. Stiffening penalties for improperly using a weapon.
President Obama
And most ludicrously and hypocritically of all, the Administration is pushing for a nationwide database to track the movement and sale of every single weapon in the United States. The same lack of tracking resulted in the deaths of possibly hundreds of Mexicans, and assuredly Americans.

Are you a law-abiding United States citizen? Congratulations, you have fewer rights to own guns than drug cartels in the middle of Mexico.
