Only a few weeks ago, the House of Representatives passed one of the first major changes in the background check system in decades. H.R. 1112, the Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2019, closes what has been called the “Charleston Loophole” which allowed Dylan Roof to purchase the weapon. The Act now gives the FBI ten business days to clear a background check. If the FBI has not concluded its review in that time period, a purchaser can petition the FBI to review the request. After another ten days, if no conclusion has been provided the dealer may proceed with the sale. |

| Does this include criminals, or is it just for the law abiding? |

It is not a loophole. The government had the information to prevent him buying a gun, but failed.
The democrat proposed law will only inconvenience law abiding citizens. It will do nothing to prevent crime and shootings.
Criminals do not obey laws and do not buy their guns at gun shows. |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
