PHOENIX – Authorities confirm two weapons tied to the ATF's failed anti-gunrunning program 'Operation Fast and Furious' were found at a violent crime scene in Maricopa, Ariz., in 2010 -- marking the latest case in which such guns have been linked to violent crimes across the U.S. and Mexico.

The two guns found at the scene were an AK-47 and a Beretta pistol, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety. The weapons were found inside a stolen truck in March 2010 after the driver slammed into two DPS vehicles while trying to evade members of the Arizona Vehicle Theft Task Force, ABC 15 reports.

It’s time to start taking these weapons to DC and leaving them on Holder’s desk or at his front door.

You can bet the driver was Amish.

Rush was discussing F & F today - he really hasn’t mentioned it much so I’m hoping this means that he’s going to start hammering on it. Now if only Drudge would get on it, the national Lame Stream Media would be forced to cover it as well.

I wonder how many more damning revelations like this the MSM is going to be able to contain before the lid blows completely off this story.

The Democrats were entirely too fast getting off the dime with blame in that Giffords shooting.

They undoubtedly knew!

Sheriff Joe is in Maricopa County.

Maricopa seems to be in Pinal County

Yeah. . . we could do that but . . . I can think of better ways to utilize these weapons as they were intended to be used.

Think of the absolute irony of it!

Maricopa, AZ is a town between Phoenix and Tucson.

It’s in Pinal County.

Not part of Sheriff Joe’s beat.

Rush mentioned it once a couple months back. He said what we all on the hard right have been saying, it was a way for the gun grabbers in the gov to create artificial problems to make an excuse to take guns away. “There is no proof you can give me to prove it otherwise”, he said, went to commercial and I never heard him mention anything else about it since. Though, I can only listen to him some of the time.

One of the things we might do is go back to the early stories of the shooting in Pima County and see who the Democrats were who started mouthing off the loudest about it (blaming Sarah for one thing).

I think those people KNEW there were guns being shipped to Mexico by ATF and this shooting might have revealed the problem.

They were certainly doing everything they could to shift the public's attention weren't they.

No, the county has Sheriff Paul Babeau - just about as good and outspoken as Sheriff Joe.
