Discussion: FL Gun Dealer Where Alleged Orlando Shooter Purchased Weapons Identified

I wonder how he feels providing the weaponry to this terrorist, who happens tb Muslim. He is as guilty of murder as the person who pulled the trigger. I pray he will hear the cries of anguish for the rest of his life. A nutter who does not care about the saintity of life.

This guy was on the Terror watch list, and we can’t even get extra scrutiny for that.

Indeed. Failure all around. However, I think making the business unprofitable as possible is an important deterrent.

My guess is that if you dive deep enough into this ass’ comments/posts, there will undoubtedly be a “F*** the f***!” post in there somewhere. I seriously doubt the sincerity of “our thoughts and prayers are with the family” stuff.

Heh! It’s not politically correct to profile like that!

Homophobia would certainly fit the pattern with a person like that. But wanting the victims to die, I’m not sure. I’ll assume he’s genuinely upset until further notice. I know people who believe all kinds of crazy Angry White Guy political stuff but are still human beings more or less if you keep them off certain subjects. It’s weirdly compartmentalized sometimes. And you know for sure he didn’t want to sell a gun to a crazed murderer. I do find his politics repugnant and stupid but lots of people are like that. I know some pretty rotten folks with liberal politics. People are strange, long story short.

He is not answering because he is probably too busy selling guns to people who rush to buy them every time a massacre happens.

It’s actually a good business to be in:

  1. Sell gun to a nutso
  2. Nutso goes on a killing spree
  3. Scarycats rush to your place to buy whatever they can gets their hands on
  4. Laugh all the way to the bank
  5. Pray that a few soon to be nutsos were among the scarycats

“our thoughts and prayers are with the victims.”

Their bullets are, too.

Yep. Assholes who sell assault weapons to mentally unstable terror suspects are the ones who put everyone in danger.

I posted something similar before reading the comments. GMTA?

But after all that the owner realized that business is business and sold guns to an “Islamic terrorist.” Did he give him a discount on the ammunition?

You are giving him too much credit. When it came down to it, selling that gun and getting the business “trumped” everything else. Can we say hypocrisy much here

He’s no worse than the American businessmen who hire immigrant workers illegally. Principles be damned when they like the money just fine.

How does posting the store help anything?

Heh – yep profiling – but seriously, this a group that really demands extra scrutiny. Religion and ethnicity varies with mass murderers, but the common factor is that they are all male and usually under 30 – and some are paranoid schizophrenics. Who except an amoral greedy imbecile of merchant sells a cache of guns and ammo to a spaced out kid like Dylan Roof, Jared Laughler, or James Holmes? And what of the numb-nut kid from Indiana with his car full of assault weapons on his way to whatever big murderous event he planned on staging? Someone made money off of selling them the instruments of mass murder. If no profiling – then anyone looking to buy high capacity weapons and ammo should receive special security screening. Maybe longer wait times, requirement to prove competency, special licensing – my preference would be an outright ban on all of it, but shy of that, much stricter access and much tighter regulation of dealers and manufacturers.

AND who NO DOUBT consistent with the PBA position everywhere, absolutely thinks Cops are being victimized whenever a policeman assassinates a black person for driving while black is prosecuted, or a corrupt cop is iarrested. And absolutely supported the Blue Wall of Silence when he was making over $100,000 per year with benefits that allowed him to retire early and open a gun shop in Stand Your Ground Florida. Not counting the cash in brown envelopes every week.

I keep wondering why it took the police 3 hours after the shooting started to get there (if I( read the story correctly) and then when they did show up, he was actually forced inside and was able to do even more damage. I may be wrong here with the timeline but this is what I have heard

You need to catch up with your reading. Hostage negotiations were ongoing for much of the 3 hours in question. You know, the kind of negotiations intended to SAVE LIVES?

The shooter bought the guns this week. Do we know if he paid for them with a credit card? I was thinking that if you are going to allow sales of guns to anybody at least demand that they pay up front in cash. Make the nutter at least save 1500 dollars for they AR-15 and ammunition.

This just gave me an idea. Maybe if we cannot get the gun shops to stop selling the weapons, maybe we should demand banks refuse to allow credit card issuers to allow for sale of guns or amunition on credit. Cash only up front, and then an FBI background check for 3 days on any purchaser while the seller holds the cash. I’m willing to bet that most of these expensive high-power guys are purchased on a credit card. It might not stop all gun purchases, but would slow it down a bit.

Maybe we can get banks and credit card issuers to voluntarily agree to such a provision… then again, maybe not.
