Make Case for National Gun Registration
CNS News - Making a case for national gun registration, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said “perhaps mistakes were made” in the botched gun-walking program known as Fast and Furious, but she said trying to assign blame misses the larger problem.
“This is a deep concern for me. I know others disagree, but we have very lax laws when it comes to guns,” Feinstein, an advocate of gun control, said during Tuesday's hearing of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism.
“My concern, Mr. Chairman, is that there’s been a lot said about Fast and Furious, and perhaps mistakes were made,” Feinstein said. “But I think this hunt for blame doesn’t really speak about the problem. And the problem is, anybody can walk in and buy anything.”
In Operation Fast and Furious, a Justice Department program that began in September 2009, law enforcement knowingly allowed about 2,000 U.S. guns to flow to Mexican drug cartels, with the intent of tracking the weapons and making arrests. However, law enforcement lost track of most of the weapons. The program was halted in December 2010 after two weapons from the program were found at the murder scene of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.

Blog author's comments - Fast and Furious and Gunwalker broke existing laws. If the laws were followed those guns would not have walked. The government set this up and lied about their involvement in it. But, according to Dianne Feinstein more gun laws are needed.
The original purpose of Fast and Furious was to create the illusion that Mexican guns were coming from the U.S., prompting the need to add more gun laws to register and control the sale of guns, and restrict the sale of assault weapons.
Now, after all the information has been made public, the Democrats still have the nerve to go ahead with the plan. They never cease to amaze me. Fast and Furious from day one was a covert operation against the Constitution and the Second Amendment.
What Feinstein wants will happen if Obama should win a second term in office.
