Fast and Furious is the gift that just keeps giving! In his quest to undermine the Second Amendment that completely backfired not only has obama admin armed dangerous gangs and drug cartels but it is now reported terrorists have also gotten their hands on those guns.
If the terrorist who was seeking to kill attendees and participants of the Draw Muhammad cartoon contest how many more terrorist got their hands on those guns.
Oh one more thing to show there’s no bias here, NICE JOB Congress getting to the bottom of Fast & Furious and holding members of the obama admin accountable for running guns! And you idiots wonder why the American people HATE you and Trump is resonating!

Then, for reasons that remain unclear, the hold was lifted after 24 hours, and Soofi got the 9-millimeter.
