With all the pontificating by certain individuals about South Carolina "loopholes", father made straw purchase, no check required if a FTF transaction,.................................... CNN reported Friday that the idiot legally purchased his Glock 41 at a local gun store in Charleston. (Not that you can believe CNN)

"Roof turned 21 in April, and a short time later he had a gun.
On Thursday, investigators did a trace of the handgun used in Wednesday's shooting and determined that it was a .45-caliber handgun Roof purchased from a Charleston gun store in April, two law enforcement officials told CNN's Perez and Bruer.
Roof purchased a Glock .45-caliber model 41, which holds 13 rounds, a federal law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation said. Witnesses have reported that Roof reloaded a number of times.
Roof's father and uncle contacted police after surveillance camera images of the suspect were made public, according to the arrest warrant. His father told authorities his son owned a .45-caliber handgun.
Joe Roof, his grandfather, said Roof was given "birthday money" and that the family didn't know what he did with it."
I wonder why everyone is so quiet about this? Doesn't fit a gun control agenda.
