Yes, and working that outrage just like the GOP worked theirs. Fast and furious with the facts I mean. Arms smuggling is a slippery grape issue. Stop Texas straw buys and a new market opens up for the rest of the black market to fill.

Again I want to say the buck stops at ATF. It’s not a great moment for Holder either (who I have a few bones to pick with) but I seriously hold Obama blameless on this one.

Straw buys, gun show loopholes, banning slaes to people on terrorist watch lists or with serious mental health issues are all common sense gun control measures that will be very difficult if not impossible to pass. The NRA and Republicans will never allow them to pass.
