A .50-caliber rifle found at El Chapo’s hideout was one that was allowed to “walk” in the Fast & Furious Obama/Holder ATF gun-running scandal.

Rifle Found at El Chapo Hideout Was Part of Obama/Holder ATF Fast & Furious Gun Running Scandal

Nobody from the Obama administration has been held accountable for the thousands of firearms they allowed to be illegally purchased, and never tracked, in the Fast & Furious scandal.

So far, the ATF claims that they have recovered 885 of the firearms they allowed to be purchased by criminals in the Fast & Furious scheme/scandal, but that is a lie. I bet they have only recovered a fourth of the firearms they claim to have recovered.

The firearms in the Fast & Furious scheme should never have been let out of the ATF’s sight, unless they were tracking the criminals in possession of the guns, but Obama and the Democrats planned on using the deaths caused by the criminals with Fast & furious weapons as additional firepower to take away American’s second amendment rights to own firearms. That was until the scandal blew up in their face.

Eric Holder should be put in prison for his part in Fast & Furious alone, not to mention the other crimes that Holder should be held accountable for.

Obama belongs in prison as well for allowing guns to be purchased by dangerous criminals, and not caring enough to track the firearms.

One of the guns that Mexican officials say was found at the hideout of drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Loera has been found to be associated with Fast and Furious, a failed “gun-walking” operation, according to the Justice Department.

The department said in a letter to members of Congress that a .50-caliber rifle that Mexican officials sent for tracing after Guzman’s arrest in January has been connected to Fast and Furious.

Officials say the weapon was one of 19 firearms that Mexican authorities said were recovered from the hideout and was the only one determined to be associated with the botched sting operation, in which the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives allowed gun runners to buy weapons in hopes of tracking them and disrupting gun smuggling rungs.

The rifle was bought in July 2010 in a straw purchase by someone not known to ATF at the time. The buyer was later identified and came under investigation but was never indicted. The weapon is not known to be associated with any other crime, the Justice Department says.

As of January, the ATF said it had recovered 885 firearms purchased by targets of Operation Fast and Furious. Several of those have been linked to violent crimes, including a 2010 firefight near the Mexican border during which Border Patrol agent Brian Terry was killed.

“ATF and the department deeply regret that firearms associated with Operation Fast and Furious have been used by criminals in the commission of violent crimes, particularly crimes resulting in the deaths of civilians and law enforcement officials,” Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik, head of the Justice Department’s legislative affairs office, wrote in a March 15 letter to congressional leaders.

After escaping from a Mexican prison last year, Guzman was recaptured in January in the western state of Sinaloa after fleeing a safe house through a storm sewer.

Mexican officials initially submitted eight rifles for tracing that they said were recovered from the home in Sinaloa where Guzman was captured. None of those weapons was found to be linked to Fast and Furious, the Justice Department said.

Later, Mexican officials requested a trace on an additional 11 rifles they said had also been seized from the home, but unlike the others, had been sent to Mexico City prior to submission for tracing.
