Gun store owner says FBI asked him to check firearm sales against list of names, pics in Guthrie case… He said none of the names returned a match for firearm purchases within the past year.

Why didn’t they just ask ATF?

The fact that people were saying the guy’s holster looked odd or weird, and now the fact that nobody can seem to link a gun sale to him, makes me wonder: Should they be checking Airsoft retailers?
Do that gun and holster look odd or weird because they’re Airsoft (or equivalent) and not “real”? And is that why investigators can’t seem to link a gun sale to the suspect — because there isn’t one?
Just spitballing some ideas that came to me.
