Give-

4. to grant (permission, opportunity, etc.) to someone

and do you believe, that Eric Holder is STILL in his job, and still fighting to hold back documentation on fast and furious.

From your link:

""letting guns walk" was a tactic whereby the ATF "purposely allowed licensed firearms dealers to sell weapons to illegal straw buyers, hoping to track the guns to Mexican drug cartel leaders."[7]

The key word their is SELL not GIVE! And the guns didnt start with the govt but they were tracked by them.

did they not GIVE PERMISSION to licensed dealers to sell to ILLEGAL buyers? they would not have gotten them if the government didnt GIVE permission or opportunity, why make gun laws and stuff if the government is just going to break them putting citizens and law enforcement officials at risk?

That is still not giving a criminal a gun.

When Mu gave me his Muzi that was giving the criminal a gun. He just gave it to me.

And technically they werent selling to illegal purchasers the purchasers were selling them to criminals! "

again from your link!

next time right edit so people know you didnt put all that other stuff in initially

so if they sold them with the express INTENT of having them get to the criminals... then essentially that is giving. C'mon the government selling a couple thousand guns for $1000 each, that is PENNIES to the government, they weren't doing it for the profit.

The govt didnt sell them gun stores did. Again cant comprehend short sentences. NO GUNS FOR YOU!

if it wasnt for the government, the stores would not sell them, the government told the stores to do so
