BATFE Wanted Fast and Furious to Justify Gun Control
From the first moment that the American people became aware that senior BATFE officials ordered agents in the field to allow guns sold in the U.S. to be smuggled on an all-but-certain path to Mexico's vicious drug cartels, many of us have wondered "why."
What possible legitimate purpose could be fulfilled by allowing a large number of guns-over 2,000, by some estimates-to disappear across our southwestern border without the Mexican government's knowledge?
There has been only one logical answer possible. Someone within the BATFE or higher in the Department of Justice wanted the smuggled guns to be recovered at crime scenes in Mexico, and traced to sources within the U.S., so that the Obama Administration could claim a need for one or another gun control measure being pushed by anti-gun groups.

Someone who values gun control more than the lives of innocent people killed by cartel operatives armed with the BATFE's "walked" guns.
Someone who believes, as one BATFE official put it, that
"to make an omelet, you have to break some eggs."
