1. How about the gun lobbyist and the gun dealer and the relative that provided the gun?

Are they all protected by pro-gun nut politicians and corporate SCOTUS members?

2. I believe his relative game him cash for his birthay

I thought that Dylan roof had passed a background check. If the gun store did a background check properly, then there shouldn't be any liability on their end.

3. Weren't there some felony charges for drugs pending when Roof bought the gun?

I suspect background checks are not much more than jokes, allowed by the NRA to provide cover.

4. I think they were misdemeanor charges

Also the charges were very recent. I don't know if he already owned the gun or not before the charges, also a misdemeanor charge would not block an NICS charge.

The FBI maintains the NICS system. Its not perfect, and we should always work on improving it.
