New reports are emerging that Disney warned the FBI about Omar Mateen several months ago. Mateen visited the parks with his wife, who told the media that he was considering attacking Disney Springs.
Mateen also visited the Disney Springs (formerly known as "Downtown Disney") area during Gay Days, a weeklong LGBT festival in Orlando.

Mateen purchased a Sig Sauer .223 caliber assault rifle at a firearms shop near his Florida home, St. Lucie Gun Sales, on June 4 and then a Glock 17 at the same store on June 5. Mateen had returned to the store a third time on June 9 to buy magazines for his weapons. The store is a federally licensed firearms dealer. Under law, the seller would have had to notify the Federal Bureau of Investigation of Mateen's purchase so that his name could be checked against the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS.
How could the FBI miss/overlook the Disney notification from April?
It’s looking like this guy was carrying a sign all over Florida saying “Muslim Terrorist Looking for Targets” and no one did anything.
But of course it’s guns.
If the FBI is ignoring guys with this profile, then who are they chasing? The fact is they are overrun and that’s why Comey said no more to unvetted immigrants - they don’t have the manpower to track them.
We’re going to end up like France.
Just more evidence of political correctness running amok.
Bingo!
That’s not fair. Your average Feeb agent could find the hickory d**k on a hobby horse, with a little help.
If Joe Citizen got on his knees, shined a flashlight on it. Pointed at it. Put the Feeb’s hands on it.
Disney should have hired a skywriter over the J. Edgar Hoover building, “Omar Matteen is going to kill a lot people!”
The FeeBI appreciates blowing smoke.
What good are gun laws when you have an already incompetent bureaucracy then hamstrung by a gazillion privacy protections for suspect?
If you see something, say something, and the government will do nothing.
There is a Mosque about 3 miles from the Disney Springs area.
If this was France, they would have the smarts to take a look. The FBI? Forget about it.
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is the Mickey Mouse operation.
Sounds like something that the FBI might want to take into consideration.

Nahhhhhhhh.
What alerted Disney to him?
Interesting.
If you see something say something and the FBI will just ignore you.
...
Well, Disney was being Islamophobic.
Seems the FBI is more concerned with cattle.
Keep us posted ok
Yep. I called the FBI hotline a few years ago and warned them of a potential problem. The agent I talked to said something like, "Oh, shit! I'll pass this up the line". But nothing ever happened, and nothing will-until it's too late.
blueunicorn6,
Think you may be not giving the back-of-the-lap terrorist enough credit. I’m not sure which the muslims hate worse, westerners, or gays. But he did wort two birds with one stone in.
