Gun store owner: We called FBI before Orlando shooting
CBS News ^ | June 16,2016

Posted on 06/16/2016 8:23:13 PM PDT by NoLibZone

The co-owner of a Florida gun store says his employees contacted law enforcement before the Orlando shooting after gunman Omar Mateen attempted to purchase body armor and ammunition.

Robbie Abell, co-owner of Lotus Gunworks, said Thursday his workers had a gut feeling about Mateen when he came to the store four or five weeks ago.

Law enforcement officials say there is no evidence that the gun shop called the FBI.
Indirectly calling the gun shop owner a liar.
Hard to believe the Feebs don’t keep electronic phone logs. Might be appropriate for a Freedom of Information act request.
I’m fed up with Obama’s Justice Department lying to us.

Lol!

My astigmatism now creates things and makes things up. It used to just distort them. It’s embarrassing. Thx.

The store owner must have called the Muslim branch of the FBI by mistake..

At this point we have to assume the son, the father and the wife were working for the feds.

Good point, but that is not what they are supposedly there for.

A lot of what the government is “supposed to do” is cover for what officials want to do.

Remember “I you like your plan, you can keep your plan.”

The NSA has been made into the greatest spying machine ever conceived. To believe that the holders of that power only use it for the good of the country, in approved ways, is very unrealistic.

Enormous power. Power undreamed up by Emperors. Power hates a vacuum.

Stands to reason that if the FBI wasn’t using 100 plus agents investigating Crooked Hillary they would have more agents available to monitor potential Muslim extremists like the Orlando shooter.

It’s time to realize that the DHS was a bad idea. Incompetence.

I offered up that possibility just last night.

Waaay to many interactions with the Feds for this to just be a co-inkidink.

Robbie Abell ought to prepare himself for various visits by the ATF, EPA, OSHA, and audits by the IRS. Maybe his store will even be shut down.

Can’t embarrass the unaccountable .gov masters, ya know.

So I’ve been told that changes in the shape of the eye socket typically affect those in their 40s. That’s about the time when my vision declined.

Obama is the idiot giving $150 billion to Iran, allowing them to continue their nuclear ambitions, and selling them sophisticated weaponly - and these imbeciles want to enact more gun control??? These socialist stooges are simply following the Alinsky script.

Ryan, McConnell and the rest of the GOP need to go after these evil stooges and quit attacking Trump.

Yep. Half the government in DC needs to be lined up against a wall. And half the rest need to be jailed. Europe seems to be a few months ahead of the curve. What happens in Europe today will happen here tomorrow. Right now England is trying to break free from the Globalist EU. Eastern Europe will follow. See no reason why US States should continue to subject their citizens to Syrian immigrants that our own CIA states contains ISIS terrorists.
