re: #367 RayFerd

Why did Bush the Lesser have an anti-gun agenda? I thought he bought into the whole “no rules for guns” same as the rest of his party.

It’s hard to predict how this would have evolved if Bush (or another Republican) was still in office. However, DOJ under Bush did recognize the problem that American bought guns are being shipped to Mexico. We are also fueling the drug war by buying all those illegal drugs. We are a very destabilizing force on Mexico. I have always been of the opinion that the real source of the outrage over the investigation was the legal gun purchases being shipped to Mexico. It’s a loophole the NRA doesn’t want closed, they would still be pressuring congress no matter who’s in office.
