IRONY IS DEAD: Democrats Continue to Block Gun Trafficking Investigations As They Push Trafficking Bill Bob Owens on September 9, 2015

House Democrats pushing

what they call the “Gun Trafficking Prevention Act of 2015″ are stooping to outright lies in order to fabricate a need for their legislation.

The bill is ironically offered by Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D-Maryland), who has done everything in his power to assist the Obama Administration’s stonewalling of the House Oversight Commitee’s investigation into Operation Fast and Furious, one of up to ten gun-walking plots carried out by Obama’s Department of Justice and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.
The Democrat press release announcing the bill claims:

On Wednesday, September 9, 2015, Reps. Carolyn Maloney (D-New York), Patrick Meehan (R-Pennsylvania), Elijah E. Cummings (D-Maryland), and Robin Kelly (D-Illinois) will hold a press conference to announce the re-introduction of a bipartisan bill in the House of Representatives to make firearms trafficking a federal crime and impose stronger penalties for “straw purchasers” who buy guns for convicted felons and others who are prohibited from buying guns on their own.
The re-introduction of The Gun Trafficking Prevention Act of 2015 comes on the heels of a House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform hearing tomorrow on violence at the U.S.-Mexico border. In March, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms reported that more than 100,000 guns were recovered in Mexico and submitted for tracing from 2009 to 2014. Of those, 70% originated in the United States.
