U.S. Attorney General Holder tells Brownback new gun law is unconstitutional
Not sure I would use the cherry pick card on this article. As you would say...this is kinda of a big deal given the response (unconstitutional) by the US Attorney General. This story will only get bigger if this goes to litigation....where my money says the State loses decisively.

I did a quick research and messed up on the date. I stand corrected (per my below post). Nevertheless, the gun trafficking from 2006-2011 (both operations) was a bad idea. Guns lost...lives lost.
All my other comments throughout this link....I stand by 100%.

Then explain to me why a majority of the guns went missing once they got into Mexico. This was under Operation Wide Receiver.
That doesn't sound like it was tightly controlled/monitored.

My bad...I thought Fast and Furious started in 2006. Operations Wide Receiver was right before that during the 2006-2008 timeframe. Both were bad moves....lost guns...many deaths.

U.S. Attorney General Holder tells Brownback new gun law is unconstitutional
My understanding is the the US Supreme Court (which is very conservative...compared to past courts) found the Affordable Health Care act constitutional. Is that correct?

Spin it however you want (i.e. tightly controlled and monitored)....
The operation was risky and ultimately backfired. You put more guns out there...time goes by...bad things are eventually going to happen. Tracking the guns become more difficult as time passes by. That's basic common sense.

Holder was not part of Fast and Furious (see below comments).

Actually, Fast and Furious program started in 2006 (Alberto Gonzales was the AG at that time...under George W. Bush) and ran into 2011. Holder became aware of the program in early 2011 and was cleared of any wrongdoing.

Yep...just political posturing (chest-thumping) by the Kansas legislators along with Brownback. It'll be interesting to see if the Feds decide to litigate this. If so, the real losers in all of this will again be the Taxpayers of Kansas. Lost Taxpayer's dollars (attorney fees) along with a court decision favors the Feds.
