| FBI: Breakdown in background check system allowed Dylann Roof to buy gun |
| 2015-07-11 |
| h/t Instapundit Dylann Roof, who is accused of killing nine people at a church in South Carolina three weeks ago, was able to purchase the gun used in the attack only because of lapses in the FBI's background-check system, FBI Director James B. Comey said Friday. Comey said Roof should have been prevented from buying the .45-caliber weapon used in the shooting, which authorities have said was motivated by Roof's racist views. The political repercussions of the June 17 massacre at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston led South Carolina to remove the Confederate flag from its statehouse grounds Friday. |

| #5 The FBI says its background-check system failed, mistakenly allowing the man who allegedly opened fire inside a South Carolina church last month to purchase the gun he used in the rampage. So what Mr. "Blame Anybody but Me" Obama immediately tries to spin as a Republican, NRA, confederate flag flying, white privilege gun-culture problem ends up actually being the result of yet one more catastrophic failure of incompetent government. The immigration system is broken, the IRS system is broken, the veteran administration is broken, the postal system is a mess, the congress and judicial systems (just to name a few) are dysfunctional. After six years of Obama's rule, what part of government is not dysfunctional ? We have people dying in the streets, in the harbors, in our hospitals and in our churches. And the latest solution, according to Mr. Obama's maladaptive response, is to blame and take down a single flag flying above a Civil War memorial in South Carolina. The astounding imbecility of it all stupefies even the barely remaining sane amongst us. And all the while we diffidently divert our eyes in acquiescence as Mr. Obama spikes the ball and revels in his own intolerable audacity. I continue to wonder who deserves to bear the most shame... Mr. Obama for his intolerable audacity or we the people who invariably and timidly allow him to get away with it. |

| #3 so... hm... How many people have been FIRED for incompetence? As anyone been even reprimanded? How about a harsh post-it note? A stern glance? Nothing? Good think they removed that flag! Who knows how many it might have shot in a rampage! |

| #2 Is Mr. Comey aware that Roof's uncle says he gave the gun to Dylann on the murderers birthday in March of this year? Apparently not. |

| #1 You had a system. You already have the laws. You are the failure. There's nothing new needed other than people who have skill and merit in the execution of their responsibilities and the removal of 'supervisors' who interfere with the execution of those systems and laws. |
