Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

“HOMICIDE – WILLFUL – KILL –PUB OFF –GUN” –ATF code for “Homicide, Willful Killing of a Public Official, Gun.”

How in the world is that a code? It's hardly even shortened.

Quote
The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives allowed illegal purchasers to buy the firearms at the Lone Wolf store

Not really being all up to date with the Fast and Furious, did the owner help with this?

Quote
Court records show Montelongo personally obtained at least 109 firearms during Fast and Furious.

How many did they sell!? I wonder if this was all in one purchase or slowly over time.

Quote
some 211 people were killed or wounded by Fast and Furious weapons in Mexico,

That we know of officially. And how many here in the US?

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

It is my understanding that the owners of the stores involved were pretty much directed/ordered by the BATFEces to make the sales.

That's my understanding too. They were given an offer they couldn't refuse.

Technically not true. 

They NICS checked the straw purchasers and got a "go" from NICS, but even went so far as to say to their local ATF agent "these guys sure feel like straw buyers, you sure your system is working right?  We don't think we want to sell to these guys."

ATF said, "Don't worry about it, we're tailing these guys and can account for all of these weapons.  Keep on selling to them, you're helping us out."

I see what you did there  :laugh:

But yeah, serious thought ought to be given to how far government officials may be allowed to go with selective enforcement of the law before they get charged with complicity and facilitating the commission of a crime. Heads should roll.... still waiting for the cold thunk of legal bureaucratic steel on necks.
