Unfortunately, even on ignore, some of the crap posted by I.B. Dumb, gets through.
Just like the Ten Commandments says "Thy Shalt Not Kill", we supposedly "legally" put people to death every year in prisons across this nation. We also kill tens of thousand of INNOCENT people and try to "cleanse" it by calling it "collateral damage" in War.
I appreciate your trying to convince a rock that he can think but it just doesn't work with I.B. Dumb.
He doesn't understand poetic license or using broad brush phrases that might have been better chosen to explain things of a legal nature.
The FUCKING FACT remains that even with a trafficking law so written, LOCAL prosecutors even in AZ felt going to trial would have been foolish and unproductive because of the ambiguity of the charges.
Perhaps, this clip from an interview with the author of the article that smeared shit on the face of an oh so deserving Darrell Issa and his contemptible followers will serve to show others, except for the cranially challenged I.B Dumb, the distinction between arrests and the inability to successfully prosecute "gun trafficking" charges.
Going to the 6:33 mark of this clip will enable you to skip the portion of the clip on Health Care.
The purpose of the contempt vote was to further the "conspiracy theory" but the interview with the author proves otherwise.
Katherine Eban, a contributor for Forbes Magazine, knows more about this issue than ANYONE on this board - she wrote the article that proved Issa was a political hack and the conspiracy theory was a strategy hatched by the right to hurt Obama and Holder.
This conspiracy theory was hatched by a right wing political hack who has cooked up similar schemes in the past.
I expect the uneducated and stupid posters who continue to post here without facts NOT to listen to the most knowledgeable source on this matter (Eban) but then that is why they are who they are, isn't it? They'll scream about the program on which she is interviewed or its host rather than the facts of the story.

Despite his obstinate objections, it only takes one law to criminalize such behavior. So when a dumb mutha fucker like Little Blind Boy quibbles and makes excuses about the "inability of law enforcement agents to enforce" an existing law that clearly states that it is against the law to be a "straw buyer" and its against the law for "straw buyers" to ship or transport weapons and ammunition to foreign countries, they are full of shit.
Also, when a dumb, liberal mutha fucker like the OP posts an article that begins with a patently false statement, "
No federal statute outlaws firearms trafficking,"
it is an article based on a lie.
The law exists! The article is a lie. If you defend the article, you are lying!
Only a dumb, liberal mutha fucker like Little Blind Boy can continue to deny the existence of a federal law that forbids and penalizes illegal, international gun-trafficking. It only takes one law to define and criminalize such behavior!
BTW, dumb mutha fucker, CBS is also reporting the story:
Documents: ATF used "Fast and Furious" to make the case for gun regulations.
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.
