'We are all sick': FBI boss says gun check breakdown allowed Dylann Roof to buy weapon

Fox News:

Charleston gunman Dylann Roof should never have been been able to buy the gun he used to kill nine worshippers at a a church Bible study last month, the FBI director said Friday, citing a breakdown in the national background check system.

 

A loophole allowed the 21-year-old to buy the .45-caliber handgun with money given to him for his birthday despite a criminal record that included a recent drug possession charge, James Comey said.

 

"We are all sick this happened,” the FBI director told reporters. "We wish we could turn back time.”

I read it was data entry error on the fed side, and not a loophole as NYT claimed.
