Fast and Furious Weapon Used in Garland, TX Attack



Fast and Furious is the gift that just keeps giving! In his quest to undermine the Second Amendment that completely backfired not only has obama admin armed dangerous gangs and drug cartels but it is now reported terrorists have also gotten their hands on those guns.

If the terrorist who was seeking to kill attendees and participants of the Draw Muhammad cartoon contest how many more terrorist got their hands on those guns.

Oh one more thing to show there's no bias here, NICE JOB Congress getting to the bottom of Fast & Furious and holding members of the obama admin accountable for running guns! And you idiots wonder why the American people HATE you and Trump is resonating!


Assailant in Garland, Texas, attack bought gun in 2010 under Fast and Furious operation
by Richard A Serrano LA Times

Five years before he was shot to death in the failed terrorist attack in Garland, Texas, Nadir Soofi walked into a suburban Phoenix gun shop to buy a 9-millimeter pistol.

At the time, Lone Wolf Trading Co. was known among gun smugglers for selling illegal firearms. And with Soofi's history of misdemeanor drug and assault charges, there was a chance his purchase might raise red flags in the federal screening process.

Inside the store, he fudged some facts on the form required of would-be gun buyers.

What Soofi could not have known was that Lone Wolf was at the center of a federal sting operation known as Fast and Furious, targeting Mexican drug lords and traffickers. The idea of the secret program was to allow Lone Wolf to sell illegal weapons to criminals and straw purchasers, and track the guns back to large smuggling networks and drug cartels.

Instead, federal agents lost track of the weapons and the operation became a fiasco, particularly after several of the missing guns were linked to shootings in Mexico and the 2010 killing of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in Arizona.

Soofi's attempt to buy a gun caught the attention of authorities, who slapped a seven-day hold on the transaction, according to his Feb. 24, 2010, firearms transaction record, which was reviewed by the Los Angeles Times. Then, for reasons that remain unclear, the hold was lifted after 24 hours, and Soofi got the 9-millimeter.

As the owner of a small pizzeria, the Dallas-born Soofi, son of a Pakistani American engineer and American nurse, would not have been the primary focus of federal authorities, who back then were looking for smugglers and drug lords...more
