| ISIS Terrorists Used Obama's ‘Fast and Furious' Gun During Paris Attack! |
| 2016-07-01 |
| [Judicial Watch] 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. It’s not clear if the agency, which is responsible for cracking down on the illegal use and trafficking of firearms, did this because the individual was involved in the Fast and Furious gun-running scheme. An ATF spokesman, Corey Ray, at the agency’s Washington D.C. headquarters told Judicial Watch that "no firearms used in the Paris attacks have been traced" by the agency. When asked about the ROI report linking the weapon used in Paris to Phoenix, Ray said "I'm not familiar with the report you're referencing." Judicial Watch also tried contacting the Phoenix ATF office, but multiple calls were not returned. |

| #18 The implication is there; I just want to be sure on account of some very serious implications - primarily Euro Jihadis getting weapons from Mexico Druggers. |

| #17 If the SN on the weapon in Paris matched the Form 4473, and the 4473 was linked to F&F.... it's a pretty open and shut case. |

| #16 Bit of a stretch still. "We need to enact common sense gun rules, like Europe." "Ooooo! Ooooo! Does that mean I get a free rifle from the US Government?!" "Yes. Uh, No. Security, assign this man a mental disease." |

| #11 I can tell you this, if I were ISIS i'd have contacted the Mexican cartels as soon as the Fast and Furious bits hit the news. I'd have paid double for as many of those weapons as possible and I'd have left them behind at crime scenes just to screw with my enemies. |

| #10 Basically using media to remind you of fast and furious, which we need reminding. |

| #9 Be careful with this. It does not say a fast and furious gun, it says "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." |

| #8 That would push the Fast n Furious death toll well over 300. Nice job there, Champ. |

| #4 I reckon it will one day be discover that the ATF was a convenient cover for action and scapegoat for another federal agency. Just my guess. |
