The owner of a Florida gun store said Orlando nightclub shooter Omar Mateen tried to buy body armor and bulk ammunition from his store just a few weeks before the shooting but his staff turned him away.
"We knew by the questions he was asking he was suspicious," Robert Abell, a co-owner of Lotus Gunworks in Jensen Beach, Florida, told ABC News.
I swear America is depressing. You go into a shop and buy guns.. wow
Well it's only half of Americans, and even they want some gun reform. It's the NRA and their bought politicians that aren't doing anything. All the blame goes to Republicans for this one.

So there's no gun stores at all in the UK? Curious bc I don't live there.
The population doesn't really have guns. The police don't use guns either. It works perfectly.
Yes, there are people who may illegally buy guns by different means,, but they very few.
There are only under 40 homicides a year in the whole of the UK. (actual statistic, i'm not making up numbers)
yeah everything was always so ****ing suspicious afterwards. why does nobody do something about it then like the store owner even called the FBI but they did nothing. wtf

Where I live (Northern Ireland) we actually are allowed to own a personal hand gun and different types of guns because of the Good Friday Agreement and the PSNI are the only police force in the UK that are allowed have guns with them at all times.
