"Mike", the owner of Big Mike Gun and Ammo in Nevada, the firearm store visited by the perpetrator before the shooting and supposedly where he purchased the weapon off an Internet page, posted an online Facebook message stating that he felt "heartbroken this could ever happen" and that "this goes against everything I believe in" and remarked that the shooter ought to "rot in hell". The owner also asserted that he has a policy of refusing to sell to white supremacists.[27]
