Never let a crisis go to waste.
(CBS News) — Documents obtained by CBS News show that the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) discussed using their covert operation “Fast and Furious” to argue for controversial new rules about gun sales.
In Fast and Furious, ATF secretly encouraged gun dealers to sell to suspected traffickers for Mexican drug cartels to go after the “big fish.” But ATF whistleblowers told CBS News and Congress it was a dangerous practice called “gunwalking,” and it put thousands of weapons on the street. Many were used in violent crimes in Mexico. Two were found at the murder scene of a U.S. Border Patrol agent.
ATF officials didn’t intend to publicly disclose their own role in letting Mexican cartels obtain the weapons, but emails show they discussed using the sales, including sales encouraged by ATF, to justify a new gun regulation called “Demand Letter 3″. That would require some U.S. gun shops to report the sale of multiple rifles or “long guns.” Demand Letter 3 was so named because it would be the third ATF program demanding gun dealers report tracing information.
On July 14, 2010 after ATF headquarters in Washington D.C. received an update on Fast and Furious, ATF Field Ops Assistant Director Mark Chait emailed Bill Newell, ATF’s Phoenix Special Agent in Charge of Fast and Furious:
“Bill – can you see if these guns were all purchased from the same (licensed gun dealer) and at one time. We are looking at anecdotal cases to support a demand letter on long gun multiple sales. Thanks.”

Hate to bust your bubble, but it was this Administration that are behind this...!
Michelle said at a gathering of supporters that Barack was laying low on gun control until after his reelection.
I love to hear from you, it only solidifies why you live in a dead zone.
If Bush had one ounce of responsibility for FF, Obama would have released those documents months ago and MSNBC would be screaming about it today.
So where is the proof that Bush was involved? Oh, that's right, Holder backtracked on his allegation. Never mind.
They think the sun sets in the south and rises in the north. You can lead those demos, but you just can't get them to think without their messiah..!
If you haven't got them already, stop everything you're doing and see your nearest OBYGN.
Have you ever seen that little white spot on Chicken sh*t, funny thing about that little white spot, it's still Chicken sh*t....!!
I wouldn't want to see you get all wormed out over something as uncontrollable as your demeanor to the retreads of the party.
Have some warm milk sweetie and we'll spat later. Ummmmmm.!
PS. sweet dreams my little spider...!
What is this world coming to?
Mediamatters will have to start trying to get CBS off the air now too along with Fox.
We can't have anybody telling the truth.
Bad for business.
It would be so nice to see Obama and Holder on a chain gang together.
How can anyone lie like this???????????????????? This is reprehensible behavior, by people appointed to serve US.
