Report: FBI Visiting Gun Shops Looking For “People Talking About Big Government”
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 4-16-2014 | Jim Hoft

The FBI is reportedly visiting fun shops looking for people talking about “big government.” InfoWars reported:

FBI counterterrorism agents are visiting gun shops in South Carolina to investigate “suspicious purchases” made by people who talk about “big government,” according to a new report.

Author Brandon Turbeville says he was approached by an individual who works in a Columbia, South Carolina gun shop to relate the story of how an FBI agent entered the store on Monday, showed his credentials, before proceeding to ask a series of stunning questions.

Telling the gun store worker he was tasked with visiting all the firearms outlets in the local area to check on “suspicious purchases” for counterterrorism purposes, the agent then began discussing what in actual fact were “completely normal transactions,” such as, “paying with cash, purchasing long guns, and other similarly innocuous behavior.”

The FBI agent then reportedly made a shocking remark that almost seems too chilling to believe.

“If you see some Middle Eastern guy come in, you don’t have to be so worried about that. What we’re really looking for are people talking about being sovereign such as sovereign citizens or people talking about big government,” the agent reportedly stated.

Before the agent left the store, he handed the employee a flyer which lists paying with cash, buying in bulk, along with other seemingly innocuous behavior as suspicious activity.

You should have told him that you are the purchasing agent for CAIR and that you have a sideline where you supply weapons to the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro, TN so you’re always looking for deals.

I prefer to stay off as many lists as possible:)

the Boston bombers didn’t threaten the jobs of big govt stooges. in fact, the Boston bombers helped increase big govt as citizens asked for more police protection out of fear

the biggest threat to big govt types would be... small govt types.

not jihadis. not fascists. not mk-13. not foreign corruption. not illegals. not commie spies.

the biggest threat is the group of people that want smaller govt, lower taxes, and rational govt spending.

ie: the TEA party

The guy was rather embarassed, and chuckled as he left.

But I have seen some at gun shows. A local deputy likes to play the game “Spot the FED!” at ours, and it tends to make the Fedgov types rather upset.

That requires the question, “What are you doing on FR then?” This website draws an automatic hourly DHS scan, 24/7/365. There is so many military veterans who actually served in combat zones ( i.e. DHS designated terrorists) posting here they have to make sure we aren’t prepping to overthrow 1600.

This is #1 of 75 videos on the subject. It might be an idea to download them all considering what happened at the Bundy Ranch this past week.<

Yeah, but I don’t want to be on that OTHER list, the one that includes legitimate, Jihadi Terrorsts.

I look at it as my way of keeping someone employed. That way they pay taxes to support a welfare mother.

After all, nobody ever discusses citizen sovereignty or big government in other venues.

That would probably turn out to be fairly accurate.

"Must be hard to grow your business when “new or unknown customer” is an FBI red flag."

LOL! Thought the same thing...

Government knows nothing about the concept of "customer". There are rulers, useful idiots, or evil producers.

This is sourced off of the Alex Jones site.
I also have my doubts as to if this is true or BS.

Since its from Alex Jones...at this point in time...I’m calling BS on this one.

Aw hell. They don’t need to go to gun stores. They can just come on over to my house. They’d hear a few thangs they ain’t heard before. I’m sure of it.

I was think that, too.

So, pretty much every gun shop in America then.
