I’m not sure what will happen to all the assault rifles once they are banned, but my Washington insider source tells me the ATF is planning on running all of them into Mexico. In fact, this is reportedly the secret the Attorney General stonewalled Congress to keep: Phase 2 in Operation Fast & Furious! (Code Name: Fast & Furious 2: Too Fast, Too Furious, To Mexico.) It promises to be even faster and furiouser than the last time! (Because things will go wrong even faster, and everyone will become even furiouser.)
Asked why such a plan would be repeated, officials said they had done it before for no reason, so why not just do it again? After all, if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Because, um, quitters never win, and winners never quit. Or something like that, I think.
That way, the Mexican drug cartels can just smuggle them all back into the country later.
