Re: Dylann Roof South Carolina church in 2015

Roof had been arrested on a drug charge that would have blocked the gun sale had it been properly reported during the background check, the court found.

As such, Roof "should not have been allowed to purchase the gun he allegedly used that evening," Comey said.
Victims' families sued, alleging the government was negligent in its background check. If it had been performed properly, "no one disputes" it would have kept him from buying the gun, the appeals court wrote.

Hey! I just got a great idea. To clean up some of the corruption in Washington D.C., let's just exchange personnel from TSA to the FBI and get those former FBI guys screening passengers. Background checks? "Done in the blink of a eye!"
So the FBI screws up and the taxpayer is left paying out for their mistakes. Any judgement should come out of the pension for FBI employees, thus reduced benefits for those that screwed up.

The US Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court's ruling that protected the government from liability under two federal laws.

This decision will be appealed to a higher Court.

Guess who pays the pension?
That's why we have the 2nd Amendment.
Founding fathers knew the government can not guarantee your personal protection, that is up to you.
People who are all for giving up their guns and allowing the government to protect them are fools.
Name me 3 things the government is responsible for that they do efficiently?
I do believe that Judges, Prosecutors and law makers should be held criminally and civilly responsible for their decisions.
Maybe then they would think long and hard before doing something stupid.
