Out of Control Gun Control, Part 2

As I indicated HERE, the White House is looking more culpable by the day as being the source of the directives that caused ATF field agents to NOT get involved in an international gun-running operation by Mexican drug cartels. 

As CBS News and other media look into this further, I think we will see that people close to the President knew about the ATF operations and gave direct orders for the ATF to NOT intervene.  More than likely, the Justice Department and White House will become overtly defensive and even more secretive.  This will raise additional awareness from Congress.  Then, under pressure from the Republican-lead Congress, White House staffers and advisers will begin to waffle on their lack of knowledge of the operation. 

The scandal will likely be subdued with the resignation of a few top officials who decide to "move on" to lecture or teach.  (Watch out Harvard; here come the White House washouts!)

Time will tell if the effort by the United States Government to flood the Mexican drug cartels with U.S.-sold guns will have any affect on the 2nd Amendment. 

Whatever happens will likely not include the apprehension and bringing to justice of those on both sides of the border who were complicit in the gun running. 

It makes you wonder why our own government would want ATF to stand-down.  Was the reason, as I suggested, to flood the cartels with guns in hopes of making it look as though the United States has weak gun control laws that need to be beefed up?  Or could it be that there is something even more sinister at work, such as bribery at the highest levels of our government?  I can only speculate...
