Fast & Furious

No, not the cars.

Gun from botched 'Fast and Furious' operation turns up after Mexican resort shootout
"Fast and Furious was a 2006-2011 ATF operation in which the agency allowed hundreds of guns to be sold to Mexican drug traffickers in hopes the weapons would lead them to cartel leaders."

Why do news sources, including Fox, repeat the government propaganda? This wasn't a botched sting operation. The intent of tracking guns to the cartel was cover story for the actual intent. There was no path forward to track anything so what do you think the actual reason for the program was? I do not for a minute believe that the agents involved were stupid enough to not realize that the plan was absent a way to capture any bad guys and retrieve the guns.

Many believe that the operation was to develop misinformation leading to the suppression of 2nd Amendment rights. The people that spouted this rational were first labeled a tin hat folks. The tin foil boys are looking pretty sane compared to the government responses.

How were they going to track anything? Follow the trail of dead people? Damned callused way to get out your propaganda. The only agents harassed were the whistle blowers. The ones that kept their mouths shut were moved and promoted. These actions well define that it was authorized from higher up the food chain. Shameful.

Let me fix that headline for you.....
Gun From Government's Exposed Deadly 'Fast and Furious' Propaganda Operation Turns Up After Mexican Resort Shootout.

Color Run

Daughter #1 flew back in to visit for the holidays. While making her plans, she asked if I would go to a 5K color run with her. I replied that would be great but that I would walk not run. My old knees wouldn't like that running stuff. The run was a "fun run" out at the fairgrounds to raise money for the Special Olympics. We had a great time. It did seem odd being at the fairgrounds for something other than a gun show! I am practicing at coming up to speed for the technology available in the 20th century so here is a selfie after the 5K. 

(Yes, I do understand how the century relates to the actual date. It is supposed to be a joke. Laughing would be appropriate now.) The bandanna did not keep all of the powder out of my mouth as I had orange on my teeth. Fun times for a good cause!
