re: #83 Obdicut

Wow. You really missed the obvious implication there.

Police officers help to move heroin when involved in undercover sting operations.

Can you answer anything in my #52, or are you busy with conspiracy theories?

For your analogy to make sense, those undercover officers would have had to help plant, grow, process, smuggle, and distribute that heroin; since ATF already knew beforehand that every gun involved in this program was going to be going to someone other than that shown on the 4473, they broke not only US law, but Mexican law, and people have DIED because of that. Your “argument” (if it can be called that) is that is was OK for ATF to say “In order for us to show what a bad thing straw sales are, we’re going to allow a bunch of those very same straw sales to occur, just so we can show how badly we need more laws to prevent those same straw sales that are already illegal.” Why didn’t I see it before? It makes perfect sense!!! (/sarc)
