Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine spoke exclusively with Infowars to clarify his statement made during a concert in which he suggested the Obama administration could have staged the Colorado and Sikh shootings as a pretext to eviscerate the second amendment – pointing out that’s precisely what the administration was caught doing with the Fast and Furious scandal.

During a show in Singapore, Mustaine remarked that President Obama was trying to pass gun control legislation.

“So he’s staging all of these murders, like the ‘Fast And Furious’ thing down at the border, Aurora, Colorado, all the people that were killed there, and now the beautiful people at the Sikh temple,” said Mustaine, before adding, “I don’t know where I’m gonna live if America keeps going the way it’s going because it looks like it’s turning into Nazi America.”

A deluge of press attention followed, with news outlets across the board smearing Mustaine for daring to exercise his free speech rights to question the narrative behind the shootings – despite the fact that it was done in the context of the confirmed cover-up surrounding Fast and Furious.

Mustaine Issues Statement of Clarification

“Nobody can deny that there were criminal rogues within the administration and CBS News got the memos, Congress has the information and basically Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America who is a highly respected person said that if they would stage Fast and Furious they’d be capable of staging anything and it was all done to blame the second amendment,” Mustaine exclusively told Infowars.

Mustaine is referring to a CBS News report concerning leaked emails which document how “The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) discussed using their covert operation “Fast and Furious” to argue for controversial new rules about gun sales.”

Fast and Furious was the infamous Obama administration program that saw guns being put directly into the hands of Mexican drug cartels. Months before the scandal broke, Obama personally told gun control advocate Sarah Bradyduring a White House meeting that he was working “under the radar” to sneak attack the second amendment.

“It would be foolish not to look at this – our U.S. Border Patrol agents were killed,” added Mustaine, noting that he was merely quoting Larry Pratt with his comments during the performance in Singapore.

Pratt appeared on Infowars Nightly News last month to discuss efforts to eviscerate the second amendment in light of the Colorado theater shooting.

Pointing out that some 400 Mexicans have been the victims of “premeditated murder,” along with U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, as a direct consequence of the Fast and Furious program, Pratt stated, “Now we have to admit that this is something that maybe our government is capable of, this was only 12 people murdered, they were good for 400 in Fast and Furious.”

“We really need to investigate this and have the Attorney General release the documents and find out who’s responsible for this – people died….let’s find out what’s going on here,” added Mustaine.

Speaking specifically about the Colorado massacre and the Sikh temple shootings, Mustaine remarked, “There’s some questions here, I just think that we deserve to know the truth – that’s it.”

As we reported earlier, both shootings are replete with inconsistencies that do not fit with the official narrative.

Police audio, eyewitness testimony and other material evidence clearly suggests that alleged Colorado shooter James Holmes had an accomplice.

Eyewitnesses described two shooters, noting that one of the gas canisters was thrown from the opposite side of the theater to where the killer was standing. Eyewitnesses also described the killer talking on a cellphone before the shooting and then standing in the emergency exit and beckoning someone else over.

More than an hour after Holmes was detained, police officers were still hunting additional suspects, having been told by eyewitnesses that there was more than one shooter.

At 1:16am on the police audio recording from the scene, an officer states, “Talking to people making statements, sounds like we have possibly 2 shooters, one that was in Theater 8 seated, another one that came in from the outside into Theater 9. Sounds like it was a coordinated attack.”

“Every unit, possible 2nd shooter still at large… Keep the media away from them,” said another officer.

A second gas mask different to the one Holmes was wearing was also found hundreds of feet from where Holmes was arrested at the opposite end of the theater car park, along with additional items.

Similarly, in the case of the Sikh temple shootings, there were multiple eyewitness reports of additional gunmen.

Speaking with the Associated Press, an eyewitness stated, “Between ten and ten-thirty, four white males who were dressed darkly, dressed in all black clothing, came in and opened fire on our congregation.”

Temple member Amardeep Kaleka, whose mother and father were injured victims in the shooting, also told WISN that his parents said there were “multiple shooters, multiple people” and that the attack was “very well coordinated.”

Kaleka added that his father saw “multiple shooters of caucasian descent.”
An ITN News report also quoted the niece of one of the temple members who said, “An unknown number of gunmen had walked into the kitchen of the Sikh temple and opened fire.”
Another man at the scene told Sky News, “I think they had multiple shooters.”
In addition, the Chairman of the temple stated that the day before the attack there were a “few suspicious men seen on Temple premises,” again clearly suggesting the involvement of more than one person.

Numerous Democratic strategists close to the Obama administration have publicly called for mass shootings or domestic terror attacks to be exploited for political grist.

I’m a patriot, I love our country, I’ve always been controversial, I’m a political songwriter and this wasn’t done to hurt any of my fellow countrymen – I think that it’s something we really really need to look into,” concluded Mustaine.
