Wayne LaPierre comes to Jesus

[Katya Mullethov]

The National Rifle Association (NRA) has asked Congress to investigate allegations that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) allowed thousands of weapons to cross the US border into Mexico, knowing they were likely to be acquired and used by Mexico's drug cartels. Wayne LaPierre, Executive Vice President of the NRA, told CBS News that his group has heard from many of its law enforcement members who are outraged at the so-called "gunwalking" by ATF.


"They wanted to prove that there were guns flowing to Mexico, so they set up an illegal pipeline to send guns to Mexico," speculates LaPierre. "When does it stop being law enforcement and start being a criminal enterprise? To prove there's islamic terrorists are they going to start manufacturing and selling explosives? It just makes no sense."
It was ATF agents from the agency's Phoenix office who blew the whistle on the controversial practice to CBS News, to Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), and on blogs such as "Clean Up ATF". The gunwalking was allegedly allowed in a case known as "Fast and Furious" out of Phoenix, and also allegely allowed in a case known as "Wide Receiver" out of Tucson and supervised by Phoenix.

2. I fail to see

What Jesus has to do with this. Is it my imagination or is ATF is the left's golden haired law enforcement agency. No matter how corrupt or stupid their actions may be, liberals give them a pass. Violate someone's rights? That's OK, just some gun nut. I am calling many of my fellow liberals hypocrites? Yeah. There should be no sacred cows. I don't care if it is the RCMP, all law enforcement agencies should be held to the same standard.
