Feinstein Uses ‘Fast and Furious’ to Make Case for National Gun Registration
Making a case for national gun registration, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said “perhaps mistakes were made” in the botched gun-walking program known as Fast and Furious, but she said trying to assign blame misses the larger problem.
“This is a deep concern for me. I know others disagree, but we have very lax laws when it comes to guns,” Feinstein, an advocate of gun control, said during Tuesday’s hearing of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism.
“My concern, Mr. Chairman, is that there’s been a lot said about Fast and Furious, and perhaps mistakes were made,” Feinstein said. “But I think this hunt for blame doesn’t really speak about the problem. And the problem is, anybody can walk in and buy anything.”
In Operation Fast and Furious, a Justice Department program that began in September 2009, law enforcement knowingly allowed about 2,000 U.S. guns to flow to Mexican drug cartels, with the intent of tracking the weapons and making arrests. However, law enforcement lost track of most of the weapons. The program was halted in December 2010 after two weapons from the program were found at the murder scene of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. Read more at CNS News

Thats a load of crap -Im amased the gov pays such ppl as yourself all that money to be so uninformed.
And even more so that there are enough foolish sheeplike ppl who vote you into a job yr after yr even in California( what do you put in there water.
I didnt see at least in the 2 linked storys where you called for gun registration( but im sure is prob one of your fav casues & antigun agendas also) b
)But did notice this guy current obama AAG calling for it.
Quote:
Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer, head of the Justice Department’s criminal division, revealed Monday that he knew about Operation Fast and Furious going back to April 2010, but did not inform Attorney General Eric Holder about the matter.
Feinstein asked Breuer about the number of U.S. guns in Mexico.
“From my understanding, 94,000 weapons have been recovered in the last five years in Mexico. Those are just the ones recovered, Senator,” Breuer said. “Of the 94,000 weapons that have been recovered from Mexico, 64,000 of those are traced to the United States. We have to do something to prevent criminals from getting those guns,” Feinstein said.
Then she asked Breuer, “Do you believe that if there were some form of registration when you purchase these firearms that would make a difference?”
“I do, Senator,” Breuer said, adding that “information is the tool we need to challenge the people that are committing this crime.”
Murder & illegal drug dealings(etc) is already aginst the laws.No more gun laws are needed to go after the criminals.
Why dont ya have o ba ma( your boss) make some campain commericals- that he wants these laws & policys for the American ppl- see what happens.

Im blond( it hides the gray well)_- sometimes you just have to just spell things out for me- i have to admit im not to clear on what facepalm( a headslap or ( holding of head of in disbelief?- a sign to stop(look both ways?) or a firing squad has to do with things( whos the blindfold & cig for?)(me?.
Imo i think that AAG was coverng for the AG & bobo etc.
Quote:
Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism.
Guess thats the same sub committee as that other story with the dem cunningham calling for gun restrictions?( or whatever his name was.( fienstien wasnt even mentioned in that story)
But im positive what o ba ma & fienstien & shummer etc etc etc call reasonable gun laws & measures- are nothing like my ideas on the subject.
As i have mentioned i dont find Ca, Ny, Nj, Ma,Il etc etc lws, taxes etc reasonable either.
My stepgrandad use to do this thing with his head & hand( sometimes but not ussally wearing a yamaka) seems commen to jews this gesture( what its called i dont know) dont ever remeber him saying- oy vey( but he did have some other yiddish words)( but the head & hand thing seemed to have multipl meanings to me.
Facepalm= oy vey? ( ussally involed top of head & drawing away motion( but not always)

Oct 19, 2006 – Now that I'm done ranting (Oy vey! Did I really just say all that?) I can say one final thing. To all who think it's French, German, or Dutch, you are ...
You know it took me the longest time- to figure out what my grandparents ment- when they said - Your ass sucks buttermilk ( still dont know about the clacker in the ducks arse in the spring time ( what would a duck be doing with a clacker( i know it wasnt a cracker) & whats spring time have to do with anything?
