The man charged with stabbing a police officer, in what could be ruled as terrorism, tried but failed to purchase a firearm shortly before Wednesday’s attack at Bishop International Airport in Flint, Mich.
Amor Ftouhi, a Tunisian national with Canadian citizenship, tried to purchase a gun at the Gibraltar Trade Center, a massive public market with hundreds of vendors outside Detroit, according to Fox 2. Ftouhi resorted to using a large knife when he stabbed police Lieutenant Jeff Neville in neck.
The FBI confirmed that Ftouhi tried to purchase a gun inside the United States, but would not confirm where. Agents said that Ftouhi was rejected early in the process because he is not a U.S. citizen.
News that Ftouhi tried and failed to purchase a gun pushes back against concerns of a “gun show loophole.” read the rest here
Ya, but they’ll have to exhaust all other excuses before ever admitting that.
Of all the anti gun nuts I have to put up with, not one knows what the supposed ‘gun show loop hole’ is. But they’re sure as hell mad about it.
“Gibraltar Trade Center” sounds like a location for an Indiana Jones chase scene. If a sketchy guy can’t get a gun there, where can he ever get one?
In fact, I think in one movie, Indiana was attacked at the Gibraltar Trade Center by a guy who could only buy a sword.
Contrary to popular belief, there wuz no Rata-Tat-Ftouhi…
Put a tunnel in his head and be done with it.
Is there any effort to support and honor the police officer/victim in this attack? Not much seems to be reported about him.
