Robert Abell, a co-owner of Lotus Gunworks in Jensen Beach, Florida, told ABC News today that a man entered the store five or six weeks ago and asked specific questions about high-end body armor. When employees said the store didn’t carry the body armor he wanted, Abell said, the man made a phone call in a foreign language, hung up and then asked about ammunition in bulk.
He was probably calling NRA head office.

Just wait for Obamas BATFE to perisicute this man have him under a Terrorists Watch List and have him driven out of buisnesses so the El Pinkos can turn his place into a dumb vegan restruant
But wait, my friends! A Watch List will save us all!
Really!!! Barry promised!
It’ll save us!!!!!!!!11!!!
Won’t it?
That would be par for the course. Lerner will also be sent after him.
I could be wrong but fox interviewed him tonight and he alone was selling 3 at-15 rifles PER HOUR!!! Lol Obama and democrats are the best gun salesmen in the history of the world, better than ruger,armalite, colt, cz, Kalashnikov , Springfield, lee enfield, Ect Ect all dream of having sales reps like Obama . And liberals. Lol .
Stupid lefties.
More likely he was calling the White House for further direction. America is placing itself on a civil war footing. The millions of Americans in flyover country ARE getting ready to take their country and constitution back. Yesterday’s shenanigans in congress over suspension of the constitution for people on the “no fly” list, especially in regard to “shall not be infringed” is the last straw for many. If Trump doesn’t get in in the fall, the republic will likely collapse in the ensuing months. People are serious that the US will not be islamified.
We are told by ‘authorities” to be vigilant, if we see or hear anything suspicious report it. Then what? Well the “authorities” go back to snooze mode and wait for the bang bangs and do their checking after the fact. Yeah, that’s about it.
If the gun store decided not to sell him a gun that day, the 24 news cycle would have been about “racist right wing gun store does not sell to muslims”.
I am amazed that Omar Mateen didn’t just surrender after killing and wounding all those people. He could have just walked out with his hands in the air and now would be on the news for months as the liberal media pontificated on why he had killed all those gays. The trial would have dragged on forever bringing islam and muslims atrocities and shear numbers of muslims to the public every day.
Yes, and he would have been given help for his mental illness.
It’s obvious mental illness is the problem . Trudeau and Obama are seriously affected.
For everyone who thinks this fellow’s mental illness (really ya think?) and access to a gun are the actual issues, not apocalyptic killers bent on world war, maybe Obama is right we just need to change the terminology so it doesn’t “appear” we are waging a war on Islam(ism), rather than it on us.
“Psychopathic killer who hated everyone but Psychopatists, especially male gays like himself, with support from PSIUSA operatives, via a worldwide net of Psychopathic clerics, via crime and psychopathic inspiration and pledging allegiance to the Psychopathic leader of the world, to
KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE IN THE NAME PSYCHOPATHAH!!”
See how easy that is. Now do you understand why taking away .223 repeaters, sorry ASSAULT RIFLES, will make us safer as Psychopaths, who are all “right wing” btw, are forced to turn to hunting rifles, pressure cookers, planes and possibly nuclear weapons in their psychopathic hate campaign that has nothing to do with their so-called religious beliefs. Only a gun toting religious yahoo would see it that way.
Remember Omar looked just like a skin head NAZI right winger. That’s the problem. Get with it bigots.
Comey also stressed the law enforcement motto “See something, say something.”
“Every single one of our cases, as we look back, someone always sees something they should have told us, and they didn’t,”
That’s because observant people typically don’t want to have anything to do with the law enforcement (read criminal justice) system. We are not allowed anonymous tips as they fail reasonable suspicion thresholds.
So the FBI says that he ‘slipped between the cracks’? Horse cookies – he friggin well jumped through the rafters! Have they learned nothing since 9-11?
Bingo!
See something say something… but do not expect any logical response.
The politically correct police are the number one help to our home grown killers.
Ask any woman who has survived a violent X spouse and the Restraining Order farce.
Serve and Protect?
But they never say who they serve and protect, however the courts and police action have made it very plain, Law abiding taxpayers are not their priority.
And reporting a crime… seems to have become such an inconvenience to our uniformed helpers, they certainly have left property owners with a lasting impression.
Small wonder our immigrants soon learn,reporting suspicious behaviour is a good way to get yourself targeted.
Face it,in a kleptocracy, the bureaus gravitate toward their natural behaviour faster and without any restraint.
So many people on both sides of the political fence are willing to throw away essential freedoms and rights to combat terrorism.
The terrorists have won.
Open carry everywhere, by rational citizens is the only effective cure for wanna be mass killers.
Naturally a rational person is aware of reality and is prepared to act accordingly.
Giving up our legal protections from bureaucratic abuse and overreach, to “prevent” terrorism, is as toxic to a free society as surrendering to an imposed religion.
Responsible adults, freemen are the only protection civilization has ever had.
The bureaucratic functionaries are just as opposed to the existence of such responsible adults as any external enemy.
Which is why state run education no longer produces any.
The silver lining of the Jihad, and invasion by refugee is the exposure of our internal enemies.
Consider what makes civilization.
Consider then who opposes these things.
One has to wonder; Is a kleptocrat capable of being a patriot?
If the media wants a healthy conversation about firearm laws, it needs to stop getting basic gun facts wrong when reporting on mass shootings.

Government: See something say something…
Citizen: I saw something.
Government: Bigot.
… “but do not expect any logical response.”
Exactly. Identity and other emotion driven politics now have societal primacy, as the sheep line up for fleecing, with slaughter only if they’re “unlucky.”
Except when a major war results from Islamist appeasement. When it comes to terrorism, don’t blame the many (who saw the danger), for the actions of the few. However, when it comes to gun crime, by anyone, definitely blame the many for the actions of the few, except whitie shooters of course.
Don’t bother with logic. These political chameleons have no shame or ethics beyond their personal power.
LIVs mostly in larger cities, sure nobody needs an “assault rifle,” are their voting fodder along with minorities continually losing ground under statism …
… and of course new “immigrants.”
Tens of $millions from Saudi Arabia doesn’t hurt eh Hillary? As my late father in law opined: thinking makes peoples’ heads hurt.
Even if Hillary wins, as seems quite likely unless the Donald can get some help from GOP politicians, whose touch is now required, America is headed into an irreversible course towards citizens walking around armed. No we don’t want shootouts in theatres, no worries what crazed killer will attempt attacks in the faced of an armed citizenry, sick of tired of establishment boobs who endanger their safety.
Too many commenters at the link are blaming the gun shop employees for not following the guy out to get his vehicle licence plate ,or getting some ID from him on a pretense when he tried to make the purchase.
Too many people like to play detective/James Bond when they are safe in their Mother’s basement typing on a keyboard.
The Gun Shop did the right thing,called the FBI,who couldn’t even be bothered to send an agent out to interview them, but in the minds of some of the fantasists who seem to be ubiquitous these days, the GS employees are the ones at fault!
I believe the federal agencies have all been Obama-washed,all seem reluctant to pursue Muslims too aggressively.I suppose it’s better to have a few people die in collateral damage than to offend a friend of the President,which describes every Muslim.
And Liz,you’re right, the old “observe,record,report” BS seems to be exactly that .A few years ago we had a drug dealer operating on our street, he was reported,address given, description of activity.
The woman who reported him mentioned to me that she expected a “sting” to be done by the RCMP,and the fellow would be put out of business promptly.
No such luck. The cops interrogated her thoroughly as though she was the perpetrator, not the good citizen doing her duty,and responded by having a marked cop car drive down our street once a day for about two weeks.
The dealer was reported several more tomes over the years, cops attended his residence when brawls broke out over there a couple of times. He openly grew marijuana plants in his back yard, and when someone reported this,they sent again,a marked car,the Officer went to the front door and knocked a few times,meanwhile the dealer ran out back as soon as he saw the cop,pulled up the dozen or so plants,and chucked them over the fence into a neighbor’s yard.
The (female) cops said,”there’s been a report of marijuana plants in your garden”, he denied it and told her to come and look,which she did, saw no plants and left.
Though he was reported several more times over about three years,the cops wouldn’t come to investigate again. Every single day, fancy sports cars and pretty young women would stop at his house, go inside for about two or three minutes,then emerge and drive away,about ten times a day. Sometimes you could even see one of them carrying a baggie,I assume full of tobacco?
We finally got rid of the dealer when the house sold and the new landlord didn’t want tenants.
“Observe,record,report”,and unless it’s a report of a guy carrying his hunting rifle to his back shed to clean it or mount a new scope,in which case we’ll send the SWAT team and the guy will be lucky to not get shot,”and we’ll take your report into consideration”.
“Up on Housing Project Hill
It’s either fortune or fame
You must pick up one or the other
Though neither of them are to be what they claim
If you’re lookin’ to get silly
You better go back to from where you came
Because the cops don’t need you
And man they expect the same”
Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues

Gun Sales in U.S. on Pace to Beat All-Time High This Year

There is no such thing as accidental coincidence. It’s only a failure to understand the connections.
The narrative isn’t disturbed in the least. The narrative is (as always) …
“We simply lack the manpower to follow up all these kind of reports, because of Republican cuts to our Homeland Security budget.” “Draconian CUTS !” “Sequester !” “Sequester !”
“It’s the stingy Republicans fault.”
“We need to greatly expand the number of Federal employees, and the employee Unions, if you want us to keep you safe.”
“See something …? then DOUBLE our budget, or we won’t do anything.”
He was calling Fast and Furious.
The Director of Homeland Security has publicly stated their emphasis is on gun control.
