Citizens Dedicated To Preserving Our Constitutional Republic

As I've written before, one of
the central goals of Fast & Furious was to create enough chaos on our
southern border to persuade Americans to embrace more gun control. To that end,
the DOJ and ATF allowed guns purchased by straw purchasers in Arizona to walk
into Mexico beginning in late 2009.
Ironically, 2009 was also the year in
which Obama signaled that his administration would be willing to take part in
U.N. negotiations on the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), a treaty aimed at instituting
international gun control measures on guns crossing borders between countries:
and these gun control measures will eventually have to include gun registration
if the treaty is to work.
The Obama administration is taking part in
those negotiations now.
Here's a question: What if the chaos Fast &
Furious was intended to cause beginning in 2009 was supposed to affect American
public opinion in such a way so as to ready us to accept the ATT in 2012? After
all, the ATT is not only intended to address the very gun walking, gun smuggling
tactics we saw in Fast & Furious, but it also fits Obama's promise to work
on gun control "under the radar."
The problem is that the ATT won't
punish the Obama administration for what they did in Fast and Furious. Rather,
it will place new and heretofore non-existent gun control measures on American
citizens whether they smuggle guns or not.
We must urge Congress to
continue to pursue justice in Fast and Furious, and urge our Senators to reject
ratification of the ATT at any cost.
