I would imagine rather harshly. It's crazy how that story got VERY LITTLE attention and for a very short period of time. Arming cartels is not only illegal but fking dumb on so many levels.
I'm sure the people of Mexico who die in the next gun fight will appreciate the ATF's "efforts"......... I also think there is more to this than perhaps meets the eye. You would have to be naive to believe there were no narcotics involved in any of these transactions. Twurz........."To trace back, and hopefully find the leaders of these cartels?"
Anybody who thought that was going to work is a fking idiot. SERIOUSLY. EDIT: "What makes you think it won't work?
" What makes you think it will? I don't have to justify opposing it. I have yet to hear a good argument for this.
Let me get this straight: 1. Attach a GPS device to an assault rifle, 2. Sell the assault rifle to a cartel, 3.
Find the head of the cartel. It's the jump between 2 and 3 that gets a little foggy. The probability of success is slim to none.
With those odds why put innocent people at risk? The guy who testified who talked about the battery running out BLEW MY MIND. Seriously?
How do you forget that detail if you're going to do this? EDIT: Don't get me wrong. I don't like cartels ruining Mexico either.
But the solution is to go to the root of the problem: The War on Drugs. Not symptoms of the problem: Cartels.
If Bush had done even a quarter of what Obama has done they would have physically dragged him out of the White House and kicked him to the curb after dragging him thru the streets. They are blind and can't see the connection. Some of these people are intellectuals but they still can't connect the dots.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
