“Wasn’t Mateen on the “terror watch list” but they recently had taken him off? “
No. Mateen was never on any list. He was investigated twice by the FBI who decided to do nothing.
And Comey of the CIA has said that orders come from the top, insinuating that Obama/Jarett are tying their hands. That would be true of the FBI as well.
Clearly we need to expand the "no gun list" to anyone who was ever investigated by the FBI, whether or not any charges were ever filed. They are all dangerous and must be kept away from guns or pointy objects.
Hmmm, isn't one of the Presidential candidates currently being investigated by the FBI?
