Obama and his control freak government minions want you to believe tougher gun laws and more government control will protect us from mass murderers. Complete and utter bullshit. I wonder if this story will be on the all the MSM national news stations. The shooter was arrested on March 1 on drug offenses. He purchased a weapon on April 11. Here is your government drones at work. I’ve purchased guns. They will not sell you a gun until they check the FBI background computer system. Your beloved government protectors couldn’t update their computer system properly in 41 days????
The government is evil, incompetent, overbearing, and as useless as teats on a boar. The FBI is great at creating fake terrorist plots and then stopping them. Press releases abound. The MSM breathlessly announces how the government saved us again.
They aren’t so good at keeping criminals from getting guns. Obama’s solution is to pass more laws that the FBI is too incompetent to enforce.

FBI Admits Error in Charleston Suspect’s Gun Background Check
Federal investigators made an error by not stopping the accused South Carolina mass shooter from purchasing a handgun in April, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey said Friday, adding the alleged assailant’s criminal background should have disqualified him.
Dylann Roof, accused of shooting nine people at a Charleston church last month, attempted to purchase a handgun on April 11, Mr. Comey told reporters.
The FBI began a background check, but a federal examiner did not obtain a report on a Columbia, S.C., arrest record from March 1 that showed he had admitted to using drugs. That should have disqualified him from buying a firearm.
