Okay, Issa has had his fun ... but what is the takeaway from this debacle?
Easy.
Permissive Gun Laws in the State of Arizona are allowing gun trafficking from the United States to the Mexican Drug Cartels.
That is a National Security issue. Those same guns could be being stockpiled by Al Qeada or anyone else. Not good for the United States of America and its citizens.
I would take this issue away from ATF and turn it over to DOD. I would set up a base on the southern border and would interdict guns traveling from Arizona and confiscate them like we would in Afghanistan or Iraq. I would then track the guns back to the stores that sold them and issue a warning to the proprietor that the guns they are selling are being trafficked to Mexico, and if it happens again his store would be padlocked by the US Government on National Security grounds. I would then tell the State of Arizona to develop laws to prevent this gun trafficking or have the cost of Military Interdiction on the matter charged to the state.
Americans have a 2nd Amendment Right to keep and bear arms ... nowhere in the 2nd Amendment does it say Americans have the right to aid in the trafficking of guns to Mexico. If the NRA wants to defend trafficking of guns to the Mexican Drug Cartels we can declare it a terrorist organization and shut it down. Easy.
