So if Mateen was listed on the FBI watchlist back in 2012 I can understand him being a possible threat, but the gun store employee I'm assuming was unaware of that. The employee then refused to sell Mateen any amunition because they heard him speak arabic? Isn't Mateen Afghani? Why would he then speak arabic when he isn't arabic?

the FBI's problem is he was a full citizen making legal purchases
I sure don't want to undermine anyone's rights, but it's also just good sense to take reasonable precautions for reasonable risks.
if you should be put under surveillance for buying something, maybe it should be illegal ?
Maybe. Or... if you have been under FBI surveillance for terrorist links and you try buying equipment used in terrorist attacks, maybe the authorities should pay attention.
Abell added that they thought the man was "very suspicious," so they called the local FBI office in West Palm Beach and reported the incident. But they didn't have the man's name, since no sale was made, and the only surveillance footage they had was grainy.

So through all that "terrible" spelling, ...yet! You grasped my meaning? By the way "guberment" was spelled correctly. .. You seem very "educated" and yet? Unknowing. I'm profoundly happy you decifered my code. There is hope for humanity.

Speaking in Arabic is an attempt to draw attention to oneself. He wanted to be noticed. He was building his legend. Next we'll hear how he went to the gun range and deliberately fired on someone else's target to get into an argument.
OP
Abell said, the man made a phone call in a foreign language, hung up and then asked about ammunition in bulk.

Read the Howell story at LA times. He told the police that he was one of the four trained terrorists by the CIA for Santa Monica gay parade attack. He knew Omar and Danny the two guys supposedly the shooters at the bar Pulse, and said Omar was not supposed to be killed according to the plan. You can't make this story up. And then Google allegedly reported the Florida incident 6 hours before the attack. It was wholly botched fiasco planned and created by the US government.
The real truth of the story was released to a former Los Angeles County prosecutor who works for Get Off the BS by two Santa Monica police officers that have been issued gag orders under threat of Federal prosecution for talking further talking about the incident.
According to two department sources, Howell called the Santa Monica police on Sunday morning claiming that he needed protection from the CIA. Howell further elaborated to the dispatcher stating that he “had been set up by the CIA – they are going to kill me.”
In summary, it appears that Howell was on his way to “hook up” with another conspirator (Dan) to set off explosives and shoot people at the gay pride parade in Hollywood California on Sunday.
Finding his contact missing when he got to LA and having heard that Omar Matteen had been killed by a FBI SWAT teem in Orlando, Howell determined he had been double crossed by the CIA and feared for his own life.

.... Howell indicated to officers who first made contact with him that Howell claimed he was one of five people involved in a planned Sunday attack on both the east and west coasts.

....When questioned about the other four people involved in the plot, Howell was only familiar with the first names of three of the alleged suspects, naming his contact in LA – Dan and two of the three contacts in Florida, Omar and Brandy.

“We were all familiar with each other through an online fundamental Islamic knowledge seminary course – we were recruited through the course and trained together at a camp in Virginia – we were taught how to shoot and make bombs – everyone knew their part – something went wrong….”

“It is no coincidence that this happened in Orlando,” said a law enforcement source familiar with Robertson’s history of recruiting terrorists and inciting violence. “Mateen was enrolled in [Robertson’s online] Fundamental Islamic Knowledge Seminary.”

Robertson is the founder of the Orlando-based Fundamental Islamic Knowledge Seminary, recently renamed Timbuktu Seminary,... It was opened in 2008, and Robertson then took his Muslim name, Abu Taubah
