On June 10, USA Today quoted FBI director James Comey saying an FBI “mistake” allowed Dylann Roof to pass a background check for the .45 caliber handgun he allegedly used to attack innocents at Charleston’s Emmanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.
The New York Times excused this “mistake,” positing instead that Roof passed the background check because of a system “flaw.”
The best case scenario for gun control proponents would have been that Roof did not even bother with a background check; that he instead bought the firearm at a gun show or from a crazy friend or that–as many gun control advocates posited immediately after the shooting–he was given the gun by his father. But the reality is that Roof bought the gun by passing the same background check that Gabby Giffords’ attacker passed, which is the same check that Santa Barbara gunman Elliot Rodger and Aurora theater shooting suspect James Holmes passed. It is the same background check that 2009 Fort

“My bad, dawg.”
The FBI was working overtime to scare the American Peeps prior to Independence Day to get the rest of their work done.
So had he failed the background check, he’d never had killed those people?
NICS has three business days to perform a background check and clear or deny the purchase.
If the background check is not completed within three days, however, the gun dealer “has the discretion to proceed with the transaction.”

???? Reserved bookings to drive home the anger... It’s how they Roll...rankings?
All lives matter
Looks like some FBI clown should be charged as an accessory to multiple murders and the FBI and Homeland Security directors should be resigning any moment now out of utter shame of the lack of their leadership and competence.
Should be...
That’s mighty White of the NYT; except that nine people in Charleston are dead as the result of FBI incompetency.
This will be an excuse for the FBI to extend the waiting period to 90 days.
Clearly the answer is more background checks and more restrictive gun laws and bigger government./s
I must have missed the calls to ban the rainbow flag after this shooting incident:
...In 2012, for instance, SPLC supporter and homosexual activist Floyd Lee Corkins entered the Washington, D.C., headquarters of another of America’s largest mainstream Christians organizations, the Family Research Council (FRC), armed with a gun and a backpack full of ammunition. He also had 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches he intended to smear in the faces of FRC employees after he slaughtered them all (FRC had recently defended the food chain’s COO, Dan Cathy, for pro-natural marriage statements).
Thankfully, Corkins’ designs on mass murder were thwarted by FRC facilities manager and security specialist Leo Johnson. As Corkins shouted disapproval for FRC’s “politics,” he shot Johnson who, despite a severely wounded arm, managed to tackle Corkins and disarm him. (Of course, this is all impossible as it’s illegal in Washington, D.C., to carry a concealed weapon.) ...
We now have an entire federal government with leadership so thoroughly preoccupied with promoting homosexuality, Islam, racial divisiveness
and political correctness that employees cannot perform the simple tasks that comprise the job they are employed and paid to do.
The administration needs to spend less time persecuting conservatives, Christians and heterosexuals and more time concentrating on
their actual job content.
But then, that wouldn’t be in line with the Hope N’ Change policies of the poser in the White House.
That is really good. It encapsulates exactly what Obama and his minions are doing.
It sounds like FBI is using this incident to make the background check much more restrictive, bypassing the normal legislative process.
