Investigators have traced yet another firearm, used by suspected cartel gunmen in a deadly Mexican resort shootout, back to the failed federal gun-walking operation known as “Fast and Furious.”

A U.S. official confirmed to CNN Tuesday that an “AK-47 style” firearm was recovered at the scene of a Dec. 18 gunfight in Puerto Penasco, a Mexican town just across the Arizona border. So far, it’s the only gun from the shootout that has been linked to the disastrous ATF operation.

Quiestion: Does the deadly shootout involve dead AMERICANS?

“In the poorly thought out operation, agents allowed suspected gun smugglers to purchase about 2,000 firearms.”

This was not “poorly thought out.” The intention was to show that firearms purchased in the US were being used to kill Mexicans and build the case that all firearms sales in the US must be banned to protect those poor Mexicans.

This was a crime committed against Mexico and treasonous acts on the part of the President and Eric Holder to name just two.

I would think charging and prosecuting them as accessories in multiple murders would be a virtual slam dunk case. Why are these two, and many others involved in this idiotic, cruel, and illegal scheme not already behind bars?

Obama will use executive orders to protect anybody involved in this case.
But, that is no reason for the house to ignore it and appoint a football team
of special prosecutors to bring it to light for the American public to decide, NOT THEM!

No, all Mexicans. To the Obamaposse, they are not really people, just future democRat voters, once amnesty becomes the law of the land.

I don't keep count of the ones in Mexico, just here in Arizona.

-- In 2011 Phoenix PD pulled about 60 out of the back of a van. I can't find the exact number but press reports described them as f&f guns.

-- Also in 2011, Nogales AZ PD seized 43 "assault rifles" and 19K rounds of ammo in a drug bust.

-- Around the same time, ICE agents out of Casa Grande seized an abandoned AK and 25 pounds of marijuana. Exact location not reported.

-- In early 2012 DPS (AZ Highway Patrol) served a search warrant and seized "several firearms", 1000 rounds of ammo, night vision gear and bullet proof vests - one of which came back as being stolen from ICE. Local rumor has it that there were about 20 rifles seized plus handguns and shotguns.

Since the Phoenix bust, the pedigree of the AKs seized by law enforcement has not been reported in the press. When they grab 43 at a time though it's hard to believe they are not fast and furious guns.

Remarkably since March of 2013 I am not able to find press reports of a single AK being seized by law enforcement in the entire state of Arizona. So the answer to your question is, in Arizona alone, well over 100 but the press and possibly law enforcement has shut up about it. In Mexico, who knows.
