Weapons from the failed ATF “Fast and Furious” were found at the crime scene in Maricopa County in Arizona.
FOX News reported:

Authorities confirm a weapon from the failed ATF program ‘Operation Fast and Furious’ was found at a violent crime scene in Maricopa, Az. in 2010. This is the latest in a series of cases where Fast and Furious 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 AK-47 is linked to Fast and Furious, according to ATF. 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.

The driver, Angel Hernandez Diaz, was reportedly arrested and charged with multiple crimes, including flight from a pursuing law enforcement vehicle, aggravated assault on an officer with a dangerous instrument or deadly weapon, theft of means of transportation and misconduct involving a weapon, according to court documents.

Fast and Furious was an operation launched in late 2009 by the Phoenix office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to follow gun purchasers in hopes that suspects would lead investigators to the heads of Mexican cartels. But hundreds of high-powered rifles and other guns ended up in Mexico, and many now accuse the ATF and the Justice Department of letting the guns “walk” even after safety concerns were raised.

    This is by far the most crime ridden, drug infested, pissed off town I’ve ever lived in (and I’ve lived in 6 different states around the country, have traveled all over). Lived in this hole for going on 10 years now, and getting out while I’m still safe come this next March. For the life of me, I can not imagine why anyone in their right mind would even think of retiring here, or raising a family. Only thing that kept me here for this long was the best job I’ve ever had, but it just isn’t worth it anymore…..

    Well well well. It is now established that fast & furious guns were indeed circulating around Jarred Loughner’s hood. This may be the ultimate explaination for Sherrif Dupnick’s odd unethical behavior following the Giffords shooting. Maybe he knows fast and furious guns found their way into the hands of a lunatic and were used to kill a judge and shoot a sitting congress woman…but will we ever know ?

    Thanks for continuing to shine the light on this story, GP.
    Many Americans tend to think that this ATF gunrunning fiasco only impacted Mexico. Unfortunately, as we’re finding out, they couldn’t be more wrong.

    {You may want to check the headline,GP}:
    Maricopa County is Sheriff Joe’s territory.
    The story says the incident occurred in Maricopa, AZ.
    That’s a town in between Phoenix and Tucson, in Pinal County.
    Their Sheriff is Paul Babeu.

    DaveInPhoenix – I totally agree that AZ sucks! I don’t know how many times I’ve seen like 50 cop cars all surrounding a Burger King, while nobody else is walking the streets. Could be the gosh darn heat here – why would people ever determine that this was a good place to settle is beyond me. I too am here just for the work, but even then, it’s lower than I’ve ever made.

    This wasn’t a failed sting or anything of the sort. It was never designed to catch the drug cartels. It was designed to invade America and murder Americans. Obama works for Ayers and the Muslim Brotherhood.

    Has anyone heard of the AK-47 in Nevada was one that Obama and his crime syndicate sold to that Mexican, who was here with a passport? When was the passport issued?

    Basil commented:

    The writer of the article doesn’t get it. The Obama administration wanted the walked guns to be found at US crime scenes. So this counts as the program succeeding, not failing. The only failure was in keeping it under wraps. So the program itself succeeded, but it succeeded so well that it got a US Border Patrol agent killed, blowing the lid off.

    Ron commented:

    Basil and everyone else is correct in saying this was exactly the result the ATF and this administration wanted. It makes it that much easier to infringe on the rights of Americans’ self defense.
