What If Walmart Sold 2500 Guns Illegally, Walked Them into Mexico, and
Hid the Documentation from Congress?

Almost immediately after the House Oversight Committee voted to hold
Attorney General Eric Holder in Contempt of Congress, Democrats and
mainstream media personalities flooded the airwaves with accusations
of racism, election-year politics, and GOP attempts to get rid of
Holder to protect state-level voter ID laws. Appearing on MSNBC, Rep.
Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) even said: "They are holding Attorney General
Holder in contempt for doing his job."

These things got me to thinking—what would these same politicians and
media personalities have said if a privately-owned business had done
the things our DOJ, ATF, and other government agencies did via Fast
and Furious?

What if Walmart, the "largest seller of firearms and ammunition in
America," had knowingly sold 2,500 firearms to straw purchasers with
the intent of having those purchasers carry those guns across an
international border and sell them to drug cartel members in Mexico?

And,what if at least two (but possibly three or more) of the guns were
used in the murder of a U.S. Border Patrol agent while an untold
number of the weapons were used to kill hundreds—literally hundreds—of
Mexican citizens?

Moreover, what if one of the straw purchasers, who bought over 700
guns, was on food stamps and Walmart knew it, yet they sold him guns
in exchange for bags of cash anyway?

What if some of the 2,500 hundred guns were recovered, but more than
1,000 were not, and what if an untold number of those unrecovered guns
were believed to be in the hands of criminals in American cities on
our Southwest border?

And lastly, what if explanations given by Walmart board members
regarding the authorization of this straw-purchasing, gun-walking
program were in conflict with the testimony given by their executive?
And what if both they and their executive snubbed their noses at
Congressional requests for documentation that would explain who knew
what and when?

What would happen to Walmart if that company did these things?

We all know what would happen. Both their C.E.O. and ranking board
members would be handcuffed and frog-marched out to paddy wagons in
broad daylight, then transported to prison cells that would house them
for the rest of their lives.

And Rep. Pelosi wouldn't even think about saying, "They are treating
the C.E.O. of Walmart this way for doing his job."
