Identifying The Enemy
By Mitch Berg
It’s about time the Feds got busy stomping out the scourge of people exercising their First and Second Amendment rights!:
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.
On the one hand, it’s just Infowars. So I’d normally assume at least some, er, “embellishment”.
On the other hand, it’s not one bit out of line with DHS Secretary Napolitano’s agenda this past five years.
I call it 50-50.

Proactively searching for potential threats is not a bad thing. However, selectively search for some threats while ignoring other, more proven is certainly wrong. You’d almost think there was an agenda.
Speaking of agendas, yesterday Fox News played a clip of a story out of Calgary Canada about a 22-year-Old man who crashed a college students party, fatally stabbed four men and a woman, and wounded another student.

I certainly find the event news-worthy, and do understand why the MSM is not covering it; five killed with a knife in gun-free Canada, our better behaved brother to the North
. However I’ve yet to see the clip again or even read anything about it on the crawl at the bottom of TV programs, even on Fox. I did find it on the internet so I wasn’t hallucinating. Anyone else see this?

The FBI? I thought we had an agency dealing with firearms…..something like the “Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives” or something like that. So why the FBI? More fast and furious?
And I’d have to guess that the shop just might have video to prevent problems that, if well motivated, they just might share…….would kinda end the debate if they would.
