USA Today wants more restrictions on citizen firearm rights. LaPierre does his "enforce existing gun laws" dance. My LTE.

To which Wayne LaPierre responds: Gun form won't deter drug cartels

Subject: USA Today's proposal to reward the arsonists of the Gunwalker Scandal with more matches and gasoline.

re: Gun lobby aids Mexican gangs ( http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2011-08-08-Gun-lobby-aids-Mexican-gangs_n.htm )

In the Gunwalker Scandal the tax-paid firefighters of the Obama administration have been caught setting arson fires. At least hundreds of dead Mexicans and two dead federal law enforcement agents are the result. At a minimum, from the evidence under oath at hearings, this demonstrates the facilitation of, and depraved indifference to, multiple murder. It involves hundreds of violations of federal law. It is, in fact, numerous acts of war against another sovereign nation and its people.

Now, before the investigations into that official butchery are complete and the high-ranking felons identified, USA Today proposes to reward their arson with more matches and gasoline, by giving the ATF more power to further circumscribe the rights of law-abiding American firearm owners. Some, including this writer, believe that this was the entire purpose of the exercise to begin with. Further hearings will demonstrate the truth of the matter.

But for USA Today to propose yet again empowering the ATF now, when we have yet to understand the extent of the law-breaking by the officials of that agency and their superiors in the Gunwalker Scandal, is at least depraved indifference of its own. The only people who have been demonstrably aiding the Mexican gangs at this point belong not to the NRA but to the Obama administration. Just ask the families of slain Border Patrol agent Brian Terry or ICE agent Jaime Zapata or the thousands of innocent Mexicans who have lost family members to weapons that ATF insisted federal firearms licensees sell to cartel straw buyers in the sure and certain knowledge that they were going south of the border into the hands of murderers.

For the USAT editorial board, it seems, this is not about justice, or even the common sense of fixing what is broken before proceeding, but rather the furtherance of the gun control agenda. It is, in fact, excusing shameless functional racism. For what's a few more dead Mexicans in the grand scheme of greater gun control? At this point the Gunwalker Scandal firearms have killed more Mexicans than the Texas Klan ever dreamed of doing. But then, as the ATF supervisor told a street agent who protested, "If you want an omelet, you've got to break some eggs."

USAT wants to further empower the murderous "egg breakers" before we know who ordered up the bloody omelet for breakfast.

I think it takes even more than depraved indifference for these propagandists to continue to print these lies after the truth has been revealed. Considering the loss of innocent lives, each one an unfathomable tragedy, it must require a heart of true darkness overflowing with hatred to want to further restrict the rights of good men and women to protect themselves and their families from the inhuman abominations that roam loose in the world.

Yeah, the mask is slipping, and everyone can now see a lot of these fascist thugs for what we've always known they are.

Dave and the Hunter, Yes, what you say is true, but the sheep have to be watching. I guarantee that my leftist brothers and their Stalinist wives know nothing of the sins of Gunwalker. And until they know, it is easy for them to accept the indoctrination that says that Naziism is the outgrowth of the limited government policies of the Tea Party.
