Guns don't kill people, unless they're guns that were part of a botched ATF program and can be used as political fodder by the right. Then - Oh my God! those guns totally killed people!

2. Best thing about Obama's presidency?

It has GOT to be the fact that so many of the conservative commentators are developing deep facial creases and aging due to their constant sneer! Laura never did anything for me in the attractiveness department to begin with, but she's starting to look like Dorian Gray's portrait instead of Dorian Gray and I LOVE IT!

She is finally starting to externally reflect the ugliness of her soul and Obama's presidency has accelerated the process....same for asshat Limbaugh, the smug shithead Hannity and the queen bee of hate and ugliness Coultergeist.

10. "the queen bee of hate and ugliness Coultergeist."

You sure nailed that one.

3. Any American, liberal or conservative, for civilian firearm ownership or opposed to it ...

should be upset when agencies of our government bypass existing laws and allow firearms to "walk" into the hands of smugglers and criminals.

The death toll from these weapons is rising in Mexico and at least one individual has been killed in the U.S.

Now it appears that this scandal involves more agencies than merely the ATF.

As the investigation continues the story grows more and more troubling. Now there are rumors of a similar program that existed during the Bush administration. It was named Operation Wide Receiver.

As an American citizen I want to insure that our existing gun laws are followed and enforced. 200 murders in Mexico are tied to Operation Fast and Furious. The probability is excellent that the many more people have died because of the weapons we allowed to "walk".

How would you feel if a member of your family was killed by one of these weapons? I doubt if you would be as flippant as you appear in your post.

8. I think you missed the point

that I made at the beginning of the video. I'm angry over Operation Fast and Furious and with all the other gun runner type programs that "allow" straw purchases, etc. But the irony of the right who argue that "people - not guns - kill people" being upset over gun sales is a valid point. If the problem is that guns were sold to criminals (which I agree - they were) then the problem is guns. By vocally castigating Holder, the ATF and Obama for allowing guns to kill people, they are making a gun-control argument and we should seize on that point.

5. As with all gun worshiping...

.... all logic and common sense dies faster than a 4 year old who found daddy's assault rifle. It's a religious cult populated by people who cannot read ( the "militia" stuff comes 1st in the amendment for a reason) and think guns and kitchens gadgets and automobiles are the same thing.

11. Not only do they overlook the militia clause

thy misinterpret the word "infringed" to mean impeded.

7. Why do FOX news 'babes' all look like female cops?

My wife asked me that!

9. I think they look more like dominatrixes
