'Fast And Furious' Scandal BS? -- TYT

YouTube Description:

"A Fortune investigation reveals that the ATF never intentionally allowed guns to fall into the hands of Mexican drug cartels. How the world came to believe just the opposite is a tale of rivalry, murder, and political bloodlust." Is Fast And Furious still a scandal for Eric Holder and others in the Obama Administration? The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

This is overly confusing for my mind. In that, I have concluded that none of this is about guns, and it is all about drugs being illegal. Trying to make crazy gun laws because of bad drug laws is just kicking the ball down the road all the while creating new problem. Start at the root not at the symptom. Drug cartels want guns because they want to protect their interests in drug production to sell to the US drug user. Gun sales to cartels are financed by the fact that drugs are illegal. Statically, for drugs, crime does pay...so well that you can arm yourself with some of the finest guns on the market. This would likely continue even if stricter gun laws existed in the same way drugs still get sold even though they are HIGHLY controlled. /rant

For one thing in the video, wouldn't the NRA make more money if guns are seized? I mean, if the cops have it, then you don't...so you need to buy another one. Or are guns like razors, the bullets are the real money maker? At any rate, it doesn't matter. I don't expect to see eye to eye with Cenk on gun rights, but I would expect him to call out the real problem as drugs, but perhaps that is a little convoluted for this conversation exactly.

So let me get this straight. There was an incident that took place, that Obama and a bunch of people took responsibility for, no questions asked.
Now come election time "It's all wrong" everything that they agreed to they didn't really mean to agree to..... I'm sorry but it's sad how much TYT is buying into this story from one source and saying "look how innocent" at the drop of a hat.
