Chief Tango sends us a link to the Washington Post<\/a> which tells the tale of Mohamad Bailor Jalloh, a former Virginia National Guardsman who was influenced by the teachings of Anwar al-Awlaki and the example of the Fort Hood murderer, Nidal Hasan;<\/p>\n

While under FBI surveillance on July 1, Jalloh visited Blue Ridge Arsenal, a gun store and indoor target range in Chantilly, Va. He attempted to purchase a Bushmaster AR-15 but did not have the required three forms of identification, court papers said. He told staffers he would return the next day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He was being watched by the FBI who told the gun dealer to sell him a disabled rifle;<\/p>\n

The store\u2019s owner said Jalloh returned that evening and bought a different assault rifle for about $1,200. He test-fired the weapon at the range, after which an employee took the gun in the back and disabled it before returning it to Jalloh.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jalloh also paid $500 to an FBI informant who Jalloh thought was working for ISIS for “material support” of the terrorist organization. From WTVR<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Jalloh began his service with the Virginia National Guard in April 30, 2009. He held the rank of specialist in the 276th Engineer Battalion, 91st Troop Command as a combat engineer. He separated from the National Guard in April 2015 with an honorable discharge.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Post says that according to National Guard sources, he didn’t deploy with the unit.<\/p>\n

The Charlotte Observer<\/a> reports that he made several unsuccessful attempts to buy guns in North Carolina before he went to try in Virginia. So, it looks like existing gun laws impeded another one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
