Law Enforcement Sources: Gun Used in Paris Terrorist Attacks Came from Phoenix
Judicial Watch ^ | 6-29-16 | Judicial Watch

Posted on 06/29/2016 12:54:18 PM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

One of the guns used in the November 13, 2015 Paris terrorist attacks came from Phoenix, Arizona where the Obama administration allowed criminals to buy thousands of weapons illegally in a deadly and futile “gun-walking” operation known as “Fast and Furious.”

A Report of Investigation (ROI) filed by a case agent in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) tracked the gun used in the Paris attacks to a Phoenix gun owner who sold it illegally, “off book,” Judicial Watch’s law enforcement sources confirm. Federal agents tracing the firearm also found the Phoenix gun owner to be in possession of an unregistered fully automatic weapon, according to law enforcement officials with firsthand knowledge of the investigation.

The investigative follow up of the Paris weapon consisted of tracking a paper trail using a 4473 form, which documents a gun’s ownership history by, among other things, using serial numbers. The Phoenix gun owner that the weapon was traced back to was found to have at least two federal firearms violations—for selling one weapon illegally and possessing an unregistered automatic—but no enforcement or prosecutorial action was taken against the individual. Instead, ATF leaders went out of their way to keep the information under the radar and ensure that the gun owner’s identity was “kept quiet,” according to law enforcement sources involved with the case. “Agents were told, in the process of taking the fully auto, not to anger the seller to prevent him from going public,” a veteran law enforcement official told Judicial Watch.

The first sentence is a trick sentence. It does not say that the gun was a F&F gun, only that Phoenix was a F&F city. The description of the gun’s history doesn’t look like F&F to me, rather just an illegal personal sale. We’ll see. Or not.

Can you say Fast and Furious Part II.

There were rumors that we were selling arms to Libya before the overthrow.

ATF leaders went out of their way to keep the information under the radar and ensure that the gun owner’s identity was “kept quiet,”

BREAKING: Istanbul Terror Investigation Suggests STUNNING Obama/Clinton Connection

http://conservativetribune.com/istanbul-terror-investigation/?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=PostTopSharingButtons&utm_content=2016-06-29&utm_campaign=websitesharingbuttons

Immediately following Tuesday’s gun and bomb terrorist attack at the Istanbul Atatürk Airport in Turkey that left at least 41 dead and 230 injured, authorities on the scene reportedly found at least one Kalashnikov assault rifle.
This matters because a day prior to the attack, The New York Times reported that weapons shipped into Jordan by President Barack Obama’s Central Intelligence Agency for Syrian rebel fighters “have been systematically stolen by Jordanian intelligence operatives and sold by arms merchants on the black market.”
Included among these arms have been Kalashnikov assault rifles, meaning that the very rifles used by the Istanbul terrorists may have come from the Obama administration.

That’s what I read!

Also, they said it was an “illegal sale”, but what made it illegal? I can sell my personal guns to you, without doing an 4473 form - I’m not a dealer.

So, WHY was this an “illegal sale”??

Oh no...he will wash his hands of this and blame Congress for very lax gun laws as well as blaming AZ for such lenient gun laws. He will probably file a lawsuit against the state as will others. Nothing is far-fetched with these people.

A Kalashnikov in the Middle East is like a yellow taxi in New York. You’re gonna have to narrow it down a lot.
