The New York Times<\/a> reports that a “flaw” in the background check process cleared Dylann Roof, the ritard that murdered nine folks in Charleston, to purchase a handgun. It wasn’t really a “flaw” in the system, it was a “flaw” in the FBI. When the gun dealer made the call for Roof’s background check, the FBI flagged the purchase because they needed more time to check on him. Because the FBI didn’t get to work on the problem, three days later (their time limit to check on the flagged information) Roof picked up his gun. So, the “flaw’ was that the FBI, the agency responsible for the NICS system, didn’t do their job. All they had to do was make a phone call to the local PD, but I guess they were too busy.<\/p>\n

But, they feel bad about it;<\/p>\n

Many major national gun dealers, like Walmart, will not sell the weapon to the buyer if they do not have an answer from F.B.I., but many smaller stores will.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are all sick this happened,\u201d said the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey. \u201cWe wish we could turn back time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Comey said the F.B.I. had begun informing the victims\u2019 family members on Friday about the breakdown. He also said he had ordered the bureau\u2019s inspections division to conduct a review of the incident and report its findings to him within 30 days.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh, and another flaw in the system; Roof should have informed the dealer that he was facing drug charges, but he didn’t. If we cant trust criminals to be truthful, who can we trust?<\/p>\n

Now, if there is legislator out there who wants to address this shortfall, I can go along with it. If they want to force the FBI to do what they’re supposed to do, I’m all for it. three days is enough time, it’s reasonable, but I’d even give them five days, if they’ll do it in five days. I’d even go along with not selling the gun to someone who gets flagged (I used to get flagged every time because of my security clearance – but it only involved another phone call). But, I’d only go along with it if the FBI is forced to do their jobs in a timely manner if it would keep the Dylann Roofs of the world from getting a gun.<\/p>\n

Here’s my problem with writing new legislation, though. Some little inbred shit like Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer would corrupt the original intent of the legislation with some crap designed to give us a backdoor to national registration. You know, like they did last time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
