Post by Randy Hasethe obama administation.Esia's crazy theory about Obama using this gun
running to make the gun laws harsher for US citizens is completely
insane.The recent article in fortune magazine found no evidence that the
ATF had anything to do with gun running.
Bottom line, it's all about getting Obama out of the
WhiteHouse
Quote, "The differences between "Wide Receiver"
and "Fast and Furious" (with sources cited)
*Wide Receiver - small number of guns involved: between 200 and 300
total
Fast and Furious - large number of guns involved: over 2,000 guns
total
*Wide Receiver - used RFID systems to track the guns
Fast and Furious - there is no record of RFID being used to trace
these guns
*Wide Receiver - used "controlled delivery," tracking the guns all
the way into the hands of the buyers, then apprehending the
purchasers.
Fast and Furious - did not use "controlled delivery" Instead, agents
agents were ordered to not to track the weapons.
*Wide Receiver - program ended in 2007 when the RFID systems in 30-40
guns malfunctioned and agents were no longer able to trace the
weapons
Fast and Furious - Program began in 2009 and allowed all 2020 guns to
disappear without tracking them in the first place.
*Wide Receiver - only 12 guns were not recovered
Fast and Furious - over 1,400 guns from the program have not been
recovered
*Wide Receiver - program took place with the full knowledge and
consent of the Mexican government
Fast and Furious - Mexican government was kept completely in the dark
about the program
*Wide Receiver - program resulted in over 1,400 arrests made of gun
smugglers
Fast and Furious - only 20 suspects were indicted as a result of Fast
and Furious
*Wide Receiver - Zero casualties resulted from this program
Fast and Furious - At least 200 Mexican civilians, possibly as many as
300, including Mexican Attorney Mario Radriguez, were murdered with
guns from this program at over 170 different crime scenes. 2 US
Federal Agents died as a result of this program. U.S. Marine and
Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and ICE Agent Jaime Zapata were both
murdered; guns from the Fast and Furious programs were found at their
murder scenes.
The differences between these two programs are stark and alarming.
The truth is that under Attorney General Eric Holder, the Justice
Department began a program that was far more dangerous than the one
that ended during Previous AdministrationTM.
