Petition to fire Eric Holder for involvement in BATFE's operation to "track" guns
https://www.nra.org/fireholder/default.aspx?mid=179000575&ek=Y1FV247N
If you haven't heard of Project Fast and Furious and Project Gun Runner, the upper management of the BATFE, including Eric Holder, instructed field agents to allow the illegal straw purchases of firearms so they can "track" them to the cartels in Mexico. The Justice Department knowingly allowed the illegal sale of 2000 guns to straw purchasers. This is a ploy to create a false argument that the majority of weapons used in the cartel drug wars come from the US. Even though they know for a fact that the cartels get their automatic weapons and grenade launchers from central America, NOT the US. This was a ploy to create evidence in order to tighten down on existing gun laws. Even though the gun dealers reported to the BATFE field agents evidence or the straw purchases. When the field agents reported to superiors, they were told to stand down and leave it alone. All the while, the border patrol agents are ordered to use less lethal bean bag rounds against heavily armed traffickers. Border Agent Brian Terry was killed doing just that and was killed with an AK 47 that was found at the scene. That gun was tracked back to one of the illegal straw purchases that were allowed to take place. This is completely unacceptable and along with Eric Holder's numerous other antics, he should be held responsible.
Sign the petition and pass it along, regardless of your feeling of the NRA. The point is still the same. Holder needs to go.
