...an ATF operation on the Southwest border the agency says will "deny firearms, the 'tools of the trade,' to criminal organizations in Mexico and along the border.
Why can't they just be truthful and say, '...will attempt to deny...' or some such statement?

Richard's $.02

LOL, they have hit here in the Phoenix area where some "gun store owner" was in fact selling lots of guns to the mexican assholes and was caught red-handed. Son of a bitch made some serious dough too, before they caught him.

Next thing we're going to hear is that Arizona is violating the "civil rights" of the illegals by denying them guns.....

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...n-rights-case/

the lawyers that took the side of the "ILLEGALS" should be banished, or worse. This story made my blood boil, not that the illegals went after the rancher but that some lawyer actually took their case and brought it to court. The jury, idiots. Tucson you get all you deserve.

What a crock of SH*T!

No doubt, this placation is sure to spread via word-of-mouth, to ALL;

Remember - Tucson is to Arizona what Boulder is to Colorado. (Of course, we also have a bunch of morons up around Flagstaff and Sedona...)

IMO, that lawyer is committing treason.

When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. Mexico proves that statement is true.
When will the Project Gunrunner become a national operation? If it stays localized to the SW border, cool, but I'd hate to see it abused to harm law-abiding Americans in the future.
