Different states have different laws on whether an individual may buy body armor / types of protection.
Also, California is close to approving legislation that tracks all ammo purchases, ie: a registry.

RE: “Is it illegal to sell body armor and/or ammunition?”

>>The gun shop owner probably was severely warned for profiling a upstanding Muslim citizen.

I’m thinking the same thing. The only investigating probably done by the FBI was to decide if the store owner had violated the rights of the Fine Muslim Gentleman by thinking that he might be a terrorist.

The gun shop owner should have walked outside and got his license plate number.

But I am sure the shop have video. They could have pulled it.

Unlikely. They were too busy looking for right wing Christians.

The FBI should have asked those questions instead they gave up because they weren't given Omar's name and phone number.

Every time people are massacred by these fundamentalist Muslims, I think to myself, “Certainlt this time the majority will wake up and demand the administration do something more than bloviating “ I’m always disappointed.

After the bombing in Olypic park I realized that the FBI cannot find its azz with both hands. Somewhat comforting on a certain level. Oh wait I didn’t say that. :-)

Wasn't the FBI already aware of Mateen, and had questioned him? You mean to tell me they didn't have photos of him, or of other Florida individuals known to have terrorist leanings that they could have shown the gunshop employee to possibly identify him? What about a store video?

A search shows this shop is in Jensen Beach, about 134 miles from Orlando. Why not search through the known threats within a certain radius of the store, and show photos to the gun store? More could have been done on the part of the FBI to try to identify the individual, but they are lazy dicks, who want the public to do their job for them. The FBI is great with excuses, but lack initiative.

Consistently enough that it seems almost, I don’t know, deliberate.

Is it illegal to sell body armor and/or ammunition?

In re: body armor, not sure whether or not illegal, but many places won't sell to anybody who isn't provably LEO (Mateen having an armed security ticket may have so 'qualified'). As far as ammo goes, no, not illegal...

I have bought a Henry .22 and a Ruger Lc9s there.
They do have a surveillance system and are a very well run outfit.

But then you see the dictates coming from the White House and their appointed officials that the military and domestic law enforcement not use the term “Islamic terrorism” in their training and operations, and reports from ex-employees of databases that were connecting the dots on Islamic terrorism being decommissioned.

I don’t think this event is the fault of the rank and file FBI investigator. This is a direct result of Obama standing with Muslims over and above the American people.
