Obama Administration Lying About Guns
Ronald Reagan once said, “Government is like a baby: an alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.”
No sense of responsibility? Yeah, like the duty to tell the truth. Consider these whoppers from recent years:
· Under my health care plan, “you will be able to keep your doctor;” or
· More than 90 percent of all crime guns in Mexico “come from the United States,” many of them from “gun shops” that line our shared border; or,
· My administration is going to be “accountable” and “transparent,” so the American people’s interests are being “well served.”
That last promise comes from Barack Obama’s first day in office. It kind of rings hollow today, however, now that Obama’s Justice Department appears to be in the midst of a massive cover-up.
That’s because the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) -- the bureaucracy charged with jurisdiction over gun stores -- has been cracking down on federal agents who are blowing the whistle on abuses committed within the agency.
The murder of federal agent Brian Terry in December exposed a trail of government corruption, where the ATF was working with gun shops, approving firearms purchases to buyers who were suspected smugglers.
