Operation Fast and Furious: The Forgotten History of the ATF’s Notorious Gunwalking Scandal
The ATF isn’t all bad. In fact, they had a policy of letting illegal gun purchases go between 2006 and 2011.

And some of the guns were used in the November 2015 terrorist attack in Paris at the Bataclan. But other than that, it turned out just fine.

Quid Pro Quo
Regardless of your particular take on the use of foreign governments to stir up the camps of political opponents, there is a reason why the situation might be called a “constitutional crisis.” My point-of-view is that everything relating to the governance of a people ought to be above board. My suspicion is that the phrase politically above board is an oxymoron, literally impossible, factually impossible.
The Monsters You Tolerate Will Breed Monsters You Can’t Stand
What if the European empires had ended their colonial rules 50 or 100 years earlier? All other things being equal, it’s hard to believe that communism would have swept Africa, Asia, and South America as it did. And it’s possible the countries of the West would not have ended up at the gunpoint of countries which they once held at gunpoint.
