Where'd Mateen buy his guns? From a "patriot" who wished the President executed for treason

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/orlando-club-shooter-bought-guns-store-owned-ex-nypd-article-1.2671663



“I have a business,” he said. “I follow the law, I don’t make the law.”

In December of last year, Henson posted to Facebook an image reading “In the name of freedom: F--k Islam, F--k Allah. F--k Muhammad. F--k the Koran. F--k people who support terrorism.”

Other posts on his page are filled with rants critical of black lives matters protesters and President Obama.

He encourages others to ignore the law and resents the majority rule thinking he knows better than everyone else. His arguments are easily debunked and shown to be unjustifiable.

You can't "shop" a NICS background check.

If other gun dealers were rejecting the sale of the firearm for any other reason than a filed NICS background check, they have a serious case of discrimination on their hands.

Unless the guy came in saying "I'm gonna kill me some fags!" And in that case, those other gun dealers failed to report a direct threat. If something like that happened THOSE dealers need shut down and thrown in jail.

We're the only real Murikans. If you disagree with us, you're a traitor and hate America. Everyone besides us is a commie.

They've been spouting that shit since at least 2003, when they were drunk on power with * in charge.

They love America so much that if they could, they'd kill the president, a public servant who was re-elected by a majority of voters. But these so-called patriots understand the Constitution better than anyone else.

Source: grew up in the 60's, and "real 'Muricans" have always been a thing.

The only thing that really distinguishes them from the rest of us are their lack of social skills, their violent natures and their visceral hatred for everything but ammo, disability checks and buffets.

Saying what you would like to see happen and threatening to actually make it happen are two completely different things.

why don't you ask the people who arrested them? If indeed people were arrested for less than this, then it was just as wrong then as it would be now.

After reading his quote about not making the law and he has a business, I knew then he was a proud right wing "patriot" who wants to make America "great again".

He provided Material support for terrorism. The fact that he was paid for it doesn't take away from that support. When we say that Pakistan provided logistical support in the formation of Al Qaeda (while the U.S. Provided strategic support and Saudi Arabia provided financial support), it doesn't mean that the Pakistanis weren't paid for it.

He's a supporter of terrorism.

He seems soft-spoken and modest. His choice of language is nuanced and subtle. He clearly understands our legal process by his outlining the steps that should be taken against the president. And he's such a patriot that he'll sell weaponry to terrorists.

Oops, what am I saying? He's an ass and as heaven05 says in post #5, he is what's wrong with America.
