cree vicar dave Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Don't know if this was on the wire before, but if it was it sure begs review. I got an e-mail from a CAS friend today about this and googled it for myself. Turns out that the gun shops are not the bad guys after all, but the fall guys. Our border agents are being shot at and killed by guns the ATF gave the OK on to sell according to CBS News. Wonder if this is what the Pres. of Mexico was talking about last week.

Hacker, SASS #55963 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I saw this new item last night and was amazed that CBS would actually do something like this. It appears to be anti ATF but yet pro-gun. They may be making progress. Amazing ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cree vicar dave Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 I called my Senators & Rep. today to express my feelings on this. Only one Senator staff help said that he knew about it. Cree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHL Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Wha.... no lead in by Katie Couric???? I'm shocked that one of the liberal network news crews would cover the story and not put an anti-gun spin on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Pony Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Sounds like someone higher up on the payscale decided they knew better what would happen then the guys out on the road and a good guy died because the brass wouldnt listen. The fact the mexican govt will somehow use this to hammer us about our gun laws and the current administration will make another move towards restricting ownership pisses me off. You do have to applaud CBS for running the story what with it being anti administration and all, wonder what the repercussions will be? Will someone attempt a freezeout like they did with Fox?

Captain Woodrow Cahill, SASS # 54363 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Without veering into the ditch of a political discussion, I think it would be a good idea for all of us to take a few minutes this weekend and write our representatives expressing our outrage over this and requesting an investigation. Kudos to CBS new for actually doing news. I used to work at a CBS station, and we had a bumper sticker in the shop that read "CBS News - Rather Biased". Looks like there's a real journalist working there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 We must do something about this immediately. Laws must be passed. New measures must be taken. If our highly trained and skilled professionals cannot keep something like this from happening, then wide sweeping, no tolerance, blanket legislation MUST be enacted to protect American, as well as Mexican, citizens.

DDD: Ooooh, you're so suspicious......yet, still, a similar thought crossed my mind. Those "guns traced to America" percentages would certainly go up if you assured a supply of illegally purchased weapons crossing into Mexico...more funding for the agency involved, more press and public fervor for those with an agenda; could they be so devious? I'm hoping that it was just plain stupidity, not a plan. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
