Looks like Obama and Eric Holder have even more blood on their hands over Fast and Furious than was first though. Seems Muslim terrorist Nadir Soofi got his gun from Lone Wolf Trading Co. According to Breitbart, Lone Wolf Trading Co is known by smugglers as an easy way to get a gun because allegedly they buy guns illegally. Hence, it makes sense that Muslim terrorist Nadir Soofi got his gun from this ‘Lone Wolf’company and tried to shoot up the Mohammed drawing contest in Garland. The gun store is connected to Obama and Holder’s Fast and Furious debacle. The store’s owner denies selling the gun to Soofi.

Lone Wolf was known at the time by gun smugglers to be a store that would sell firearms illegally, according to a report by Richard Serrano with the Chicago Tribune. Nadir Soofi, one of the two terrorists killed during the attack in Garland, had a history of misdemeanor drug and assault charges, the Tribune reported. That could have made him ineligible to legally purchase a gun. While in the Lone Wolf store, Soofi allegedly fudged some facts on the federal firearms form required for gun purchases in a licensed gun store.
Unknown to Soofi, Lone Wolf was in the middle of a federal sting operation knows as Fast and Furious. The ATF program was aimed at Mexican drug lords and traffickers who were attempting to buy guns in the United States and move them to Mexico. The program went sideways when federal officials lost track of the firearms, many of which allegedly ended up in Mexico.
One of those weapons was found at the scene of the murder of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. Agent Terry was part of a Border Patrol team responding to the possible presence of Mexican bandits in southern Arizona. He was killed in an ensuing gunfight. One of the guns found at the scene was eventually traced to the Fast and Furious program.
When Soofi submitted the required form, the store contacted the FBI for a background check, according to the Tribune report. Serrano’s article cites a Los Angeles Times article that stated a seven-day hold was placed on the pistol Soofi was attempting to purchase. For reasons that have yet to be explained, that hod was released after one day and Soofi was reported to have left the store with the pistol.
Lone Wolf gun store owner, Andre Howard, has reportedly denied selling the handgun to Soofi.
