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 counter terrorism 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.�
