The last I initially heard his dad gave the gun to him as a birthday present. Imagine that...

Per Fox News (Harris Faulkner is much prettier than shep!)...

A felony arrest the previous Spring (winter?), should have kept the little maniac from making the purchase. Mumble mumble data entry error...mumble mumble not sure where the issue occurred.

Of note, a review of NICS databases and checks is planned. If chicanery was to be ... ‘chicaned’ a tinfoil hat observation would have the holders of that data calling a halt to checks until the process could be thoroughly evaluated and overhauled.

Just a tinfoil observation.

Notice he did not say that Roof failed the background check. He is saying the background check failed.

Guess we need to ban gun purchases from anyone who ever visited Gettysburg/s

A loophole in the check system allowed the man, Dylann Roof, to buy the .45-caliber handgun despite his having previously admitted to drug possession, the bureau said.

So why is the government promoting the use of marijuana?

Meaning the government needs much more access to real-time state info, mere drug possession charges will be enough to make you a prohibited person, and there will be a push to disqualify anyone who has ever been to a psych treatment.

The problem is that courts have ruled repeatedly that mere drug possession does not make one an "unlawful user," a term that has no real basis in law.

They are saying that by admitting to drug possession when he was arrested, that he is disqualified from possessing a firearm. That is not correct, based on everything I know.

Meaning he bought the gun, went through government operated background check, and was given clearance when he should have been denied clearance. Basically, the government broke the law.

-- My mom (rest her soul) used to say that while there were Democrat/Republican differences at election time, they settled down and did what was best for the country. I believe that's why we won WWII in part. --

It's also why the PTB are pining for war or some other "common enemy" to rally the public behind.

I have read both that it was a misdemeanor arrest and a felony arrest. I doubt it was a felony arrest.

A misdemeanor drug arrest is not enough to disqualify a person on a 4473, from what I know. The FBI director seems to be trying to expand the definition of "prohibited person" on his own.
