RAHM EMANUEL was the Chief of Staff of Obama's White House. He is a teeny tiny Napoleonic control freak. Nothing happened with out his approval. He used his political muscle to ram Obama Care into law. Obama Care will tax anything firearms related under the guise of paying for the inner city carnage guns create.
Currently the WH is covering up Fast and Furious because if it is traced to the ballerina Rahm, it is then traced to Obama.
They are using the hysteria of recent events to do exactly what England and Australia did.
