Now, if we&#8217;re all equal under the law, the producer should be made an example, but no prosecutor wants to spend his money on prosecution of the media.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, we find out that a legal gun dealer in Orlando reported the gunman who shot up Pulse last Sunday morning and actually refused to deal with him and reported his contact to the Feds, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/insider.foxnews.com\/2016\/06\/17\/florida-gun-shop-owner-reported-mateen-weeks-attack\">Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Robbie Abell, who co-owns Lotus Gunworks in South Florida, said Mateen was asking about the highest-level body armor.<\/p>\n<p>Abell said the salesman knew that this was &#8220;not a question that a normal civilian would ask.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said that when Mateen was told the store doesn&#8217;t carry that product, he started texting and talking to someone on his cell phone in a Middle Eastern-sounding language.<\/p>\n<p>He then asked about bulk ammunition before leaving the store empty-handed.<\/p>\n<p>Abell said staff were concerned, so they contacted the authorities about the shopper&#8217;s suspicious behavior<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>They couldn&#8217;t provide a name or a photo of the man to the Feds, so the Feds dropped it. Of course, the Feds could have showed Abell pictures of Middle Eastern men that they were monitoring in the Orlando area and those pictures might have included the Orlando murderer &#8211; but that would be racist or profiling or something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andy11M sends us a link about a CBS news producer who made a straw purchase of &hellip; <a title=\"Guns and laws\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=66396\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Guns and laws<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-66396","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66396","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=66396"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66396\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=66396"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=66396"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=66396"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
