| Operation Gunrunner was funded by the 2009 Stimulus Package |
| 2011-07-08 |
| In that thread I scanned the text of H.R.1 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for gun, firearm, etc and came up with a hit. I posted in the thread: "Only time “gun” or “firearm” appears is in the part that give $10,000,000 to the ATF for Project Gunrunner. That was H.R. 495, asking for 15,000,000 for Gunrunner". H.R. 495 that I mentioned never made it out of committee, but it looks as it was to specifically fund Gunrunner. Instead portions of it were rolled into the stimulus package a month later. That text found in H.R.1 is: For an additional amount for ‘State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance’, $40,000,000, for competitive grants to provide assistance and equipment to local law enforcement along the Southern border and in High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas to combat criminal narcotics activity stemming from the Southern border, of which $10,000,000 shall be transferred to ‘Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Salaries and Expenses’ for the ATF Project Gunrunner. |

| #3 "The only two certainties in life are death and taxes." "At least the death rate doesn't go up every time Congress meets." Well, apparently not any more. |

| #1 coming that soon kind of seems like it was cooked up and ready to roll before B.O. even took office. part of setting up the narative that was needed to repeal the 2nd amendment me thinks. if that is the case, then we can go higher up than holder. probably all the way to the guy loading the words onto TOTUS. |
