LIVEBLOG: Dylann Roof's rejection to buy firearm came 12 days after Emanuel shooting

http://komonews.com/news/nation-world/prosecutors-to-wrap-up-case-against-dylann-roof-this-week

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) - The rejection letter for Dylann Roof's application to buy a firearm came 12 days too late.

Evidence presented Monday during Ronnie Thrailkill's testimony show the Shooter's Choice manager was told on June 29 that Roof should be denied the purchase. By then, it was already in the hands of federal officials investigating the shooting at Emanuel AME.

ABC News 4 has a team of journalists in the courtroom covering the trial and will deliver the most updated information on proceedings in a special live blog.

Victims have no rights. According to the NRA, and many gun lovers, the 2nd Amendment gives everyone the right to possess a gun. ANY attempt to infringe upon that right, is rejected as Unconstitutional.

If people die, so be it. If anything, that proves the need for More guns, not less. NRA Logic.

A few thousand, or 10's of thousand deaths from guns each year, is a necessary sacrifice to preserve the 2nd Amendment.

The gun shop has to wait 3 days. If they get a Yes in those 3 days they can sell, if they get a No they can't sell. If, after 3 days, they don't get an answer they are free to sell.

Sorry to be judgemental but the first pics I saw of that freak I thought - I wouldn't let him mow my lawn let alone sell him a gun.
