Fast and Furious Gun Found at Murder Scene Was Purchased By Embattled ATF Supervisor

By Katie Pavlich 12/19/2012

A Fast and Furious gun found at the murder scene of Mexican beauty queen Maria Susana Flores, appears to have been purchased by embattled ATF supervisor George Gillett. Flores was used as a human shield before she was shot and killed by Mexican cartels during a shootout with the Mexican military.

According to documents obtained by Senator Chuck Grassley, it appears Gillett purchased a number of different firearms at a gun dealership in Phoenix as part of Operation Fast and Furious. It also appears Gillett lied on 4473 forms by using an address that does not lead to his residence, which is a felony.

Grassley has sent a letter to the Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz asking for further investigation. From the letter:

Actually, she was killed November 24 so had nothing to do with Newtown. She had a long history of being involved with drug gangs so it was really no great surprise she was with them when this happened. A total waste but that was her choice.

It’s important to remember that we’re dealing with a man who likes the idea of leaving babies to die in a closet. Not that he did orchestrate Newtown, but we can’t just dismiss the idea either.

Is is correct that Soetero was a state senator when he made his vicious remarks opposing a state bill which would have outlawed the practice of leaving completely viable babies to die naked on gurneys parked in broom closets? He has also stated that he wouldn't inflict the 'punishment' of babies on Wookie's daughters. This stuff needs to be sent viral, over and over.

" Registration of guns is a nationwide program. Investigations made in recent months under the National Firearms Act have a bearing on the risk and problem of exceptionally dangerous war trophy weapons, brought or shipped to this country by veterans falling into unauthorized hands by theft or unrecorded transfer and being put to unlawful uses never intended or contemplated by the veteran.

"Trophies to Be Made Legal in Program Under National Firearms Act

Machineguns and machine pistols, war trophies of foreign make, must be registered and deactivated to bring their possessors “within the law.” For this purpose Treasury Department operatives will establish offices at police headquarters this morning and will maintain a 12-hour schedule for the next three days, from 9:00 a. m to 9:00 p. m. Veterans possessing any firearm of foreign make can qualify themselves to keep their souvenirs lawfully by bringing them to police headquarters on any of the days— today through Thursday. After registrations, deactivation of the weapons makes them unserviceable but in no way mars the appearance of the guns as souvenirs.

All guns are duly returned to their owners. Registration of guns is a nationwide program. Investigations made in recent months under the National Firearms Act have a bearing on the risk and problem of exceptionally dangerous war trophy weapons, brought or shipped to this country by veterans, falling into unauthorized hands by theft or unrecorded transfer and being put to unlawful uses never intended or contemplated by the veteran.

Already there have been committed a large number of major crimes in various sections of the country, where foreign automatic weapons, introduced as war trophies or souvenirs were used." THE DRIVE OF THE TREASURY DEPART IS AIMED AT PREVENTING THESE WEAPONS AND FIREARMS FROM FALLING INTO THE HANDS OF GANGSTERS, RACKETEERS, BANK ROBBERS AND OTHER TYPYES OF CRIMINALS."The drive Of the Treasury Department is aimed at preventing these weapons and firearms from falling into the hands of gangsters, racketeers, bank robbers and other types of criminals."

"The Alcohol Tax Unit, Bureau of Internal Revenue, is charged with the enforcement of the National Firearms Act, which provides a penalty not to exceed $2,000 or imprisonment not to exceed five years, or both, in the event a person is convicted of violating any provisions of the Act. Veterans, register your foreign weapons today!”

my point was the story about where the gun came from ~ not when she was killed.

you knew that though ~ couldn't miss it in fact ~ so, hot on the heels of Newtown, in the rain shadow so to speak, the story about where the gun came from was released.

That pretty much buried it didn't it.

We cannot afford to forget that a good number of the members of this particular regime are very nearly cannibalistic in their attitudes toward infants. Take Sibelius for example ~ and Joe Biden. These people are sociopathics ~ the dangerous kind too.

Then, there's Obama ~ who's one of the stupidest people to ever be selected as President. Gad!

Throughout history there have been evil men who sought and acquired power and used that power to destroy the lives of millions of innocents. Why would we, Americans, believe that we are immune to such mechanations? Of course, it could happen here and all indications are that it is. PRAY.

Gee, now Holder has a scapegoat (Gillet) to blame for EVERYTHING about Fast & Furious!

It was an unauthorized operation ... by a rogue agent!

I didn’t know anything about anything ... EVER! Neither did the Big Guy!

We were just continuing Bush’s (halted) program!

Yeah, right. Let’s see how the Judicial Watch suit progresses. That could be fun!

Reading comprehension skills required on these threads.
Get some.

“December 14, 2012 ~ Newtown happened. December 19, 2012 the story about the ATF weapon killing the Mexican beauty queen happened.
Obviously ATF and White House aides knew long before 12/19 that the story was coming out.”

I really hate strawmen.
