Grassley to ATF: Explain Focus on Gun Owners Instead of Cartel Trafficking
“Since Operation Fast and Furious, I’ve conducted broad oversight with respect to gunrunning operations and the ATF’s role with respect to them,” Sen. Chuck Grassley, in his position as Ranking Member of the Committee on the Budget, wrote Tuesday in a letter to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Director Steve Dettelbach. “Accordingly, I write today regarding concerning reports that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) defunded and shut down an interagency effort, Project Thor, to combat weapons trafficking networks that are used by Mexican cartels within the U.S. to smuggle weapons to Mexico.

Chuck Grassley, who voted to confirm Eric Holder as Attorney General of the United States.
ReplyDeleteAll he's doing here is making noise and nothing will come of it. And he knows it.
Yawn. Another deep state politician's smoke & mirrors vote harvisiting troll. Elmo's correct, nothing will come of it, but Chuck will bleat: "At least I tried so vote for me".
ReplyDeleteNothing substantial was done after the original hearings. Expect more of the same.
ReplyDeleteMost gun owners haven't started shooting back yet.... Cartels will hunt you down and chop you up into little pieces

Got it in one.
DeleteOoooh, a sternly worded letter!
ReplyDeleteI bet they're just quaking in their boots now!
Worthless reps like the ol grassyman here need to decorate lamp posts or over passes. Wind Chimes I tell you, Wind Chimes, we need more Wind Chimes in DC.
ReplyDeleteAlso defund the ATF. And a few other anti American agencies.
"Unintended Consequences"
ReplyDeleteNothing, nada, niche. Till I see someone, fuck ANYONE, doing there walk in cuffs, the uniparty doesn't interest me.
ReplyDeleteFjb, Fbo, etc., list is too long, with over 500 participants....
"Grassley’s latest efforts are laudable, but don’t expect them to be productive without a House and Senate majority and a Republican in the White House. And even with that, too often, the GOP has enjoyed such advantages but then failed to do anything substantive to rein in abuses and hold abusers accountable."
ReplyDeleteDon't talk to me about Republican majority, I live in TN under such gems as illegal to carry with "intent to go armed." And of course the legislature that didn't gavel out Lousy Lee's red flag attempt. Just to name two.
