ANOTHER SCHOOL/PUBLIC SHOOTING

[Jimbone]

It wasn't the PD who fucked up and put the legally-sold gun into the illegal purchaser's hands so he could go shoot-to-death 9 innocent people at the Baptist church in Carolina. It was the Feds again. Because of the federal law that gives the FBI only three days to vet an applicant, Dylann Roof was able to buy the firearm. The FBI didn't vet him in time, so the dealer was able to legally sell him the gun when Roof went back to the dealer on day 4 (even though he didn't pass the background check).

The waiting period needs to be extended beyond three days on a national level, in my opinion. 30 days sounds reasonable to me.

We're both right, because local law enforcement did screw up which caused the FBI to miss the cut off. A clerical error occurred when his felony arrest was entered in the database. The wrong arresting agency was listed by the jail, so when the FBI called to inquire about the felony, they called the arresting agency listed (who of course had no record of the arrest). The additional delay caused the waiting period to expire.

The FBI further screwed up though. They could have referred the error to the ATF who could have moved to remove the gun from the purchaser.
