What more could have been done to stop a future terror attack? Here 5 weeks before he acted gun store employees and owners notify the FBI about a person that was on their watch list and even someone brought in for interview twice was attempting to purchase these items, yet it's the 2nd Amendment' fault? They denied selling him the ammo and the body armor but it didn't stop him from going somewhere else and the FBI or law enforcement dropped the ball.
This could have been prevented before it happened yet who should get the blame? I believe the President and his Administration shoulders some blame for their directions to the FBI, Homeland Security and the Justice Department to ignore and omit statements or items like the word Jihad or Shria law and concentrate more on right wing (aka tea party) groups as the greater threat.
Where is this covered in the media? Where is the uproar from Democrats who see their standard bearer making such disastrous decisions? Under Bush's administration, after 911 there was no terror attacks in the United States yet under Obama there have been terror attacks each year of Obama's term and still today Obama will not name the enemy, speak of Radical Islamic Terrorism and specifically orders those responsible for finding and stopping terrorist to stop looking at Muslims stop triggering on words like Jihad or Sharia law. HOW CAN YOU NOT BLAME HIM AND/OR HIS POLICIES?
The left continues to perpetrate the lie that the NRA and firearm industry wants to sell weapons to terrorists, criminals, and the insane. Remember the "Fast and Furious" gun walking scandal; gun shop owners were warning the Feds that the shop's potential customers were likely criminals, but the Feds said complete the transactions anyway, those folks were being watched. BATF watched alright; they watched those weapons go to Mexico to murder innocents and Brian Terry:
Guns tracked by the ATF have been found at crime scenes on both sides of the Mexico–United States border, and the scene where United States Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed December 2010. The "gunwalking" operations became public in the aftermath of Terry's murder.[2] Dissenting ATF agents came forward to Congress in response.[16][17] According to Humberto Benítez Treviño, former Mexican Attorney General and chair of the justice committee in the Chamber of Deputies, related firearms have been found at numerous crime scenes in Mexico where at least 150 Mexican civilians were maimed or killed.[18] Revelations of "gunwalking" led to controversy in both countries, and diplomatic relations were damaged.[2]

Will the families sue the departments that were warned?
The ATF in DC stated the gun buys were done without permission of the DC office. If so, why weren't the agents in the field prosecuted?

There are a lot of questions that need to be answered about why this known threat was allowed to keep following his plans.

Not only about him and his family, but the family of the marathon bombers too.
