And you guys though Cheney was Machiavellian..... He's got nothing on the Bamster's Alinskite leanings.
Telling gun stores to sell those weapons to people who are clearly straw purchasers, and even giving the straw buyers taxpayer money, to increase the number of firearms from the U.S. found in Mexican crime scenes to then give truth to the lie that "90% of all guns found in Mexican crime scenes come from the U.S." and, I guess we're lucky it didn't get to this point (yet) but then the next step would be to blame those same gun stores who were told to sell the weapons (just like they blamed the banks for the housing collapse after forcing them to give mortgages to people who clearly couldn't afford them, a fact which, surprise!! The media seems to ignore) and then the final step, more restrictions on firearm ownership.
The Obama regime and his apologists might deny all of that and just call me some kind of paranoid conspiracist, but as a (former) chess player, and a really good one, one skill that remained for me and even after years of not playing that comes naturaly is to think several moves ahead and to figure out what an opponent's intentions are and what he's going to do, especially if I know his playbook, as I would call his style of play, so trust me, that was the ultimate intention.
