'Slams' is good. 'Indicts' would be better.

I have always wondered how anyone could believe F&F could possibly work. No one is that stupid, and I mean no one. So perhaps it was all part of Obama's and Holder's plan to take down the American people by any means necessary.

Fool'd ya!

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

The plan was to track the guns when they were recovered at crime scenes in Mexico. No kidding. The dead Mexicans were just collateral damage. In the end the BATFE tracked a few hundred guns found at the site of murders and other crimes in Mexico, but only did so after F&F was exposed.

The entire operational plan was never intended to break up cartels or smuggling, it was to create a the grounds to create a new assault weapons ban that really banned them and to undermine our Rights.

I know that sounds conspiratorial, and I certainly have nothing more than my own speculation.

Well...yours and several million other gun owners, the NRA, SAF, GOA, gun bloggers, gun writers, some politicians, and a bunch of cops.
I think even the partridges in the pear tree agree that it was nothing but a political move against gun rights.
