Gun linked to Paris attacks traced back to Florida arms dealer implicated in Iran-Contra scandal

Source: Raw Story

A gun linked to last month’s Paris mass shootings has been traced back to a Florida arms dealer.

The serial number for a M92 semi-automatic pistol linked to the deadly Nov. 13 terrorist attacks matched one for a weapon delivered by the Zastava arms factory in May 2013 to Century International Arms in Delray Beach, reported the Palm Beach Post.

Michael Sucher, the owner of Century Arms, did not answer calls seeking comment Thursday and the doors to his shop were closed as TV news crews gathered outside.

(...)

John Rugg, a former police officer and longtime Century Arms employee, testified before a U.S. Senate committee in 1987 that the company had supplied rockets, grenades and other weapons to Nicaraguan rebels as part of the Iran-Contra scandal.

But it applies here too-drive a stake through their hearts. That could have been done to Cheney and Rumsfeld during Watergate and we failed and they came back. Next we failed to prosecute EVERY bastard involved in Iran Contra and this is what we get.
