Fast & Furious: Real Intent to Destroy 2nd Amendment Rights?

I have not really discussed this much, awaiting evidence.  Now is the time. 

For a long time, many people have speculated that a key reason for the creation of F&F was to provide evidence that the gun laws of the USA are inadequate and thus give cover for imposing more onerous gun control and to undermine the 2nd Amendment.  Until now there has been no hard evidence of this intent.  Now, Sharyl Attkisson at CBS News has found email evidence that this intent has at least been discussed within ATF and DOJ.  This evidence is contained in the Friday Night document dump form last weekend.  Attkisson is very good at finding smoking guns within these document dumps.

The real impact so far of this sort of discussion was "Demand Letter 3" which was designed "to be much more sweeping, affecting 8,500 firearms dealers in four southwest border states: Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas."  This new regulatory requirements imposed by ATF only on border state dealers meant that dealers had to report multiple sales of semi-auto center-fire rifles.  This reporting requirement is not legal because Congress specifically told ATF years ago that it cannot collect information that effectively register long gun sales.
