It’s happening: Democratic lawmakers say Fast and Furious proof of need for harsher gun laws

“This hunt for blame doesn’t really speak about the problem,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein at a recent Senate Judiciary hearing while discussing Fast and Furious.

“And the problem is, anybody can walk in and buy anything, .50-caliber weapons, sniper weapons, buy them in large amounts, and send them down to Mexico. So, the question really becomes, what do we do about this?”

The ranking Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Rep. Elijah Cummings (Md.), and Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) have introduced a dedicated firearms trafficking statute, but it has stalled in the House Judiciary Committee.

The republicans should pray that democrats try to make gun control at the national level an issue again. It would be like 2000 all over again. The trend at the state level has been towards LESS gun control, not more.

Oh, they certaily WANT to push more gun control - but realize that it's a losing issue.
They're more worried about their personal and patrisan political power than standing up for what they think is right.

Of course they're saying that...trying for stricter gun control laws was the whole reason for "Fast & Furious" in the first place. Holder and Obama were willing to put both the citizens of Mexico and the Southwest United States at risk from armed drug thugs if it allowed them to get gun control laws passed.

Yes.... because crime in Mexico is a sound reason to infringe on the rights of the law-abiding Americans.
