Finally, Something is Done About "Fast and Furious"

According to FoxNews, actions were finally placed against Eric Holder, the man responsible for the idiotic gun running scandal known as "Operation: Fast and Furious." The court action stated that Holder must hand over documents pertaining to the operation, otherwise he would face contempt. If he refuses to hand over the documentation, Mr. Holder will deal with fines and possibly time incarcerated. He had refused to hand over the documents, so the judge was asked to personally find Holder and to acquire the money and documents. If he did not pay the required amount, then he would be thrown in jail. The documentation that Holder refused to hand over tied the White House and the Justice Department to the operation. The "Fast and Furious" scandal was created in an attempt to draw out high ranking cartel members by giving them weapons that are illegal in America, such as RPG-7s, fully automatic RPKs, and fully automatic AK platform rifles. Now, fully automatic firearms are legal in America, but a Class III license is needed, but Holder just gave these weapons to known criminals in an attempt to draw them out. It did not work at all. Many people lost their lives, including an American Border Patrol agent. I personally think that these recent actions against Holder took too long. In my opinion, the funny thing is, Holder had just resigned recently, but now he may possibly go to jail. Also, another ironic thing is, he said his greatest regret was not "...[passing] any responsible and reasonable gun safety legislature." His influence in "Operation: Fast and Furious" had given criminals extremely dangerous firearms, yet he states that he wishes he had limited the gun rights for law abiding citizens in the United States. Eric Holder must be held responsible for his actions, just as any normal American would be.
