Arizona Sheriff Says 2 Guns Found in Bust Linked to ‘Fast and Furious’

Published November 01, 2011 | Associated Press

An Arizona sheriff says that two guns seized as part of a major drug smuggling bust have been connected to a botched federal investigation known as “Fast and Furious.”

“Fast and Furious” was a controversial Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms’ investigation that lost track of up to 1,400 weapons that were sold in Arizona gun stores to suspected straw buyers for Mexican drug gangs.

A number of guns have been recovered at crime scenes in Mexico and two were found at the scene of a Border Patrol agent’s death.

Now Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu says two more “Fast and Furious” guns have been seized in Arizona from members of the Sinaloa cartel, Mexico’s most powerful.

So let's say he's correct. The obvious conclusion would be to have our border closed, with entry / exit points controlled by inspection and declaration.

Works for me.

But whoever in the federal gubmint is getting paid off by the mexican drug cartels to obtain high quality weapons and ammunition will not be happy.

This has always been about creating a crisis that resulted in a cry for more gun control in the US. Thank God they were caught red-handed.

The Obama Admin has murdered hundreds in their little covert op to discredit constitutional gun ownership in America.

They belong in jail for treachery, treason, and murder.

[Enterprise]

Yeah Breuer, blame the Constitution for your own stupidity.

“The problem is, anybody can walk in [to a gun shop] and buy anything,” Feinstein said.

Correct. It's part of the whole "shall not be infringed" thing.

[redgolum]

Facts don't matter, the narrative does.

The Gunwalker “scandal” still doesn't get much play because it doesn't server the interests of the Fedgov.

We will wake up with an EO banning guns sooner or later.

"“The problem is, anybody can walk in [to a gun shop] and buy anything,” Feinstein said."

Uh, I'd like 5 AK-74's (full auto, of course), 300 RPGs, IED material and some SAMs, and a couple of cruise missles, please.

[Redleg Duke]

That damned, pesky Constitution!

More like a “True Believer”, imuo.

New Democrat talking points are out. Feinstein (Fineswine) was spouting this line yesterday.

We cannot let this pass. Fast and furious was NOT A BOTCHED OPERATION. It went per plan and that plan was to move guns to the cartels in Mexico so that the administration could push for stricter gun control laws as these guns were found at crime scenes.

That worked to perfection. Nothing botched here.

And then we discovered that Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was shot to death using one of these guns. That opened the can of worms.

Fast and Furious wasn't botched, it was uncovered.

[Don Corleone]

These are the sort of people OBAMA has surrounded himself with. All of a like mind with their community organizer boss.

[LibLieSlayer]

These people need to be prosecuted after obamao is voted out and those guilty of treason and sedition should face a firirng squad for justice.

There is no doubt the Obamah Administration wanted American guns in the hands of Mexican drug cartels to bolster their attack on our Constitution's 2nd Amendment!

They wanted to claim Mexican violence were due to American guns in their hands.

And that's exactly what they did and their program has cost many lives, including one of our border agents.

What the ATF and DOJ sanctioned was criminal!

During a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing today on Capitol Hill, Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer, who is facing pressure surrounding his role in the Obama Justice Department’s Operation Fast and Furious, asked for more gun control and blamed law abiding gun shop owners for violence in Mexico.

Well, Duh...that was Obama's and Holder's plan all along. Under the radar of course. But they got caught. Jail time please.

[opentalk]

They are always working the media and propaganda. They need to be charged criminally.
