Anti-gunners counterattack on Gunwalker by blaming gun laws, smearing Issa [View All]

“As the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform focuses on alleged failures of the U.S. Justice Department’s program to stop gun trafficking to Mexico, a new study by the Violence Policy Center (VPC) identifies the major force driving the criminal cross-border gun traffic: the gun industry’s cynical militarization of the U.S. civilian gun market,” a new Violence Policy Center press release claims.

So rather than demand the truth in allegations with supporting documentation by Bureau whistleblowers that the government allowed guns to “walk” into the hands of the Mexican cartels, VPC tells us “U.S. Civilian Gun Market Has Become a Militarized Bazaar.” Even though plenty of evidence suggest true military armaments come from approved U.S. exports to the Mexican government, as well as via smuggling operations though Central America.

Ever eager for talking points to support the narrative their agenda demands, the "Authorized Journalists" who have been absent from any presence in the Gunwalker scandal have been quick to latch onto this “authoritative” treasure trove. So we see headlines from CNN and the Associated Press telling us Mexican drug gangs get their weapons from the civilian U.S. gun market—the new figure is 70%, down from the previous 95-100%, then 90%, then 80%…conveniently not explaining that 70% of the tiny fraction submitted for tracing bears no relation to the total number seized, which in itself is hardly reflective of the total number possessed and used by the cartels…especially when we see actual military ordnance like machine guns, grenades, etc.

It is unfortunate that some cannot get passed their partisanship or blind bigotry of gun owners to see the evidence that is placed in front of them. There is mounting evidence that the ATF violated US laws, International laws, and the deaths of many innocents was the result.
