The gunman in Orlando was investigated by the FBI in 2012 and 2014. No Problem---?
Last week he bought 2 guns legally. Again...no problem.
There is a major problem with our investigative bodies and of course, with our gun laws.
When will things change?
My Bet?
Never!!!
Sickening.

(2,902 posts)1. The default by NICS is a pass after three days...
so the FBI can't use delays as a tool to keep those things out of the hands of dangerous people. It's also why the Charleston church shooter was able to kill people. The FBI, by not defaulting to deny, is facilitating gun violence.

With a lengthened background check and personal interview of applicant if "flags" are found.
It won't stop it all, but it would be a good start.
