The “assault weapons ban” wasn’t boneheaded. It was intended as a Christmas tree on which to hang more and more anti-gun amendments over the years, eventually ending with a de facto ban on all guns. Fortunately it was repealed before that could happen.
Issa with Kenneth Melson over the weekend. An interesting read but here are some highlights:
“He claimed that ATF’s senior leadership would have preferred to be more cooperative with our inquiry much earlier in the process. However, he said that Justice Department officials directed them not to respond and took full control of replying to briefing and document requests from Congress.”
“The Department’s inability or unwillingness to be more forthcoming served to conceal critical information that we are now learning about the involvement of other agencies, including the DEA and the FBI.
The Role of DEA, FBI, and Other Agencies
When confronted with information about serious issues involving lack of information sharing by other agencies, which Committee staff had originally learned from other witnesses, Mr. Melson’s responses tended to corroborate what others had said. Specifically, we have very real indications from several sources that some of the gun trafficking “higher-ups” that the ATF sought to identify were already known to other agencies and may even have been paid as informants.”
Some of the people buying guns appear to be informants for other government agencies and were using government funds to purchase the guns.
