It's really nothing but a cooked up conspiracy trying to prove the administration is going after your second amendment rights when there's been nothing done at all to curtail those rights since Obama got elected.

That said, selling weapons to criminals in Mexico is illegal, and Eric Holder already admitted to doing it, saying the Bush administration was doing it as well. This should be investigated. If it is nothing but a witch hunt and that there is nothing to it, then there would have been no reason to invoke executive privilege, or to block the investigation. This administration's actions suggest that it was more than just some witch hunt.
It was also proven fact that this administration was still running it and found it to be a crappy idea and shut it down, firing a lot of the top officials that ran it.
What exactly is anyone else looking for, if not some way to say that Obama's trying to strike down gun rights?
You let me know.
In similar disputes between Congress and the DOJ, both Bush and Clinton called in that same privilege and many times more than Obama.
You're grasping at straws.
For starters, it's the first time Obama's used it.
Yes, this administration shut down the operation after ONE border patrol agent was killed and those running that program were fired or re-assigned apporpriately. That's a fact. This administraiton shut it down. One agent died.
You've not told me what it is that the GOP is looking for in their investigation, though.
9 hearings and over 7 thousand documents haven't turned up a thing. What is it that the GOP is tying up the government over?
It's much like when they brought the birther issue to the supreme court, or when they banned members from the floor because they didn't agree with anti-abortion legislation. This partisan lesson on histrionics is very enlightening, to say the least.
What is the GOP looking for? I'm waiting for an answer.
Yes, we are agreed that it started under Bush, but it should have been ended as soon as Obama was president, and charges should have been filed. That they weren't shows that it wasn't ended because the president disliked the policy, but because they were caught.
And the GOP isn't "tying up" the government over this. First of all, in an election year this heated, neither party is interested in doing anything. The Democrats have refused to even bring to the floor any of the jobs bills that have passed through the House (there were 47) and the Republicans refuse to pass any kind of real tax reform, immigration reform or any other policy. That is what happens when you have reelections every 2 years.
The NRA and right-wing Pundits all agree it's about an attack on second amendment rights. The GOP does too. Yet, you are running with some ethical pablum you want me to believe? Not working.
I guess you have a bad memory. It was the Republicans that blocked three major pieces of Obama's Job Bills in 2011, because they believed it was unneeded stimulus spending. The GOP is tying up the government with BS all the time. They brought the Birther issue to the SUPREME COURT, for christ's sake.
With the GOP the way it is, that's what you get when you have partisan politics playing over the care of the people of the country.
OH NO! THE REPUBLICANS BLOCKED 3 Pieces of a single jobs bill. Those bastards. That clearly makes the Democrats blocking 40+ okay. Your are such a hypocritical moron.
I'm not a Republican. You seem to be making that assumption, but nothing has given you any room to make it. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a second Amendment issue involved, but I really don't care. This should not have been happening, and it is an ethical issue. You haven't actually made one substantial point in the past three posts. You might think on that, and if you have any intellectual honesty, you will see how wrong you are on this.
Same thing with this witch hunt. Issa and his crew have already stated that they believe that Obama was going to use this to take away second amendment rights, and they've got nothing to base those views on, yet they've galvanized the right to believe that's the case. And, they are going above and beyond to try and find something to remotely prove their point.
It's a sham.
The republicans blocked the KEY JOBS BILLS released and approved BY THE PRESIDENT. Just like they did with KEY IMMIGRANT REFORM LEGISLATION released BY THE PRESIDENT. They've blocked everything the president has had a hand in. You can't blame the democrats for that.
You're a libertarian, which means you're a scared republican. Only scared to be called out as a right-wing nutjob, so you pretend like you're in the center and if you actually vote in the center, you waste your vote every time. You wouldn't be surprised if there was an attack on second amendment rights in this issue? Yet, to date, there's been not even a mention of gun control from this administration. NONE.
It's not an ethical issue. If it was, we'd have seen scores of other botched progr...

It's not an ethical issue. If it was, we'd have seen scores of other botched programs go up the chain of command as well. But, we haven't. Unless you happen to think this is the only government program started under the Bush administration that hasn't yielded results?? If that's the case, continue to stay under the rock you've been using for shelter. It's a scary world out there.
I am waiting to see WHY IT IS that the GOP is conducting this search after over 7000 documents and 9 hearings were conducted. What are they looking for?
You please let me know.
If it's a conspiracy threory about how the 2nd amendment is under attack, we all know NOW where that theory came from. Some nutjob with an online blog. What a joke.
