If the FBI started removing rights from every person who said, "I could kill myself" that'd be a lot of people.

FBI had a six month window with what is currently allowed. http://time.com/4368439/orlando-shooting-omar-mateen-fbi-investigation-dropped/ …

False again. They used 10 months, not including the third interview.

False again? The previous quote was also directly from the Time story.

Misquoted, as I just pointed out. Mateen was investigated from July 2013 to May 2014, then pursued again later in 2014.

FBI has 6 months and could get a 6 month extension; already have up to 12 months. But, with no background checks, no connection.

So, someone's name is already on a "list" for up to 12 months but there is currently no background check triggering action.
