He was able to buy them because he wasn't convicted of anything, sorry but bureaucrat should not be able to strip my rights merely based suspicion. That's a very slippery slope.
Guy was not even charged with a crime.
He was questioned because of remarks made to coworkers and because he may have been in the proximity of an extremist. Obviously, FBI did not find anything concrete.
Absent a history of violence there is no reasonable way to predict future violence.
The question that needs to be asked is WHY was he allowed to be hired by DHS and carry a weapon if he was on a watch list? Also, why wasn't he fired for making all those violent statements at work? THAT is the biggest failure here.
He was not employed by DHS.
His employer did two prior background checks and turned up nothing.
He was questioned by the FBI, not charged with a crime.
I don't know the details of his remarks to coworkers. Do you?
A day after the deadliest mass shooting in US history, questions are mounting over why the shooter Omar Mateen was legally able to buy an assault rifle and handgun despite having been investigated twice by the FBI for suspected terrorist sympathies! Pulse nightclub massacre: questions over how suspect on FBI's radar could buy guns
I believe the government.... especially the radical Islamist sympathizers~ Obama and Clinton have a hand in this because of their agenda to take the guns from Americans!
Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the shooter was a government agent!
If some of those club goers had guns they could have blown the scumbag away! How the hell does a person armed with an assault rifle and lbs. of ammo even enter a club?
He shot his way into the club.
For all anyone knows, some in the club were armed.
Many ignore gun free zone laws and some of them post on this forum.
The man who killed at least 50 people and wounded 53 others at an Orlando club early Sunday was armed with an AR-15-type rifle. It’s the same style of weapon used to slaughter 20 children and six adults in Newtown, Conn., in 2012. There were calls to ban the weapon after the Newtown shootings, which led to a spike in sales.
Gun manufacturers have called the AR-15 one of the most popular weapons in the U.S., with more than 3 million estimated to be in circulation.
“It was designed for the United States military to do to enemies of war exactly what it did this morning: kill mass numbers of people with maximum efficiency and ease,”

Forget it--they are a bunch of idiots. They think everyone should have the god-given right to text while driving and refuse to make the left lane for passing. They love the insurance industry and guns, though.
