It appears now that this could escalate in to a major international incident as the mexican government is asking for extradition of any and all agents involved in running guns to mexico.
and the Obama admin is trying to sidestep the criminal actions of the ATF by changing policies on private sales. the ATF needs to be disbanded immediately.
That's pure supposition and conjecture on your part, STY. I have no problem in laying blame where it's deserved, but I'll wait for what actually happens as a result of investigations, etc.

while my post isn't intended to actually lay blame at Obama's doorstep, the ATF is a branch of the executive office, Obamas domain. And instead of pushing forward with an investigation of who in his department is violating federal law, he seems to be pushing for even further restriction on our personal rights and liberties.
Apparently it isn't private entities that are irresponsible with firearms, but public ones. Who knew?
Again, you're jumping the gun before any results of an investigation are being presented. Your opinion, STY, is NOT fact.

maybe you haven't been listening to a whole lot of news because of the japan thing going, but Obama has made statements in the last few days about having a new gun policy forum where he's going to try to sidestep congress on eliminating private firearms transactions.
Really? Care to provide the FULL CONTEXT of this statement. If indeed YOU have been paying attention to this, then providing an accurate, valid link to support your assertion should be no problem for you. YOU made the assertion, the burden of proof is on YOU, STY.
Apparently you overlook the instances of the very agency tasked with preventing straw purchases of firearms, actually encouraging them in the hopes of making a headlining bust.
That was the entire purpose of the first post of this thread, was it not? And did dismiss it? Nope! In fact, I'm looking forward to see if heads will roll or is there going to be a whitewash of the whole thing. I have NO problem criticizing Obama or his administration (and have done so on these boards), I just want to get the facts straight before I do.
This isn't just my opinion, this is the documented news stories by inside agent whistleblowers.
see above responses.
or is it ok when the government does it when it's a Democrat president?
You're pretending that the actions of the ATF are normal screw-ups, when in fact they are extremely reckless and fucked up. Idiot.

You, idiot, are trying to play this whole story off as though its insignificant. So, I detect only one lier in this bloody thread.
