Meet The Press: Chuck Todd goes citizen-shaming for a Govt screw up

A Democrat / Progressive definition:

Loophole: – any condition whereby there are insufficient laws or regulations which do not allow government to control an issue or situation down to the molecular level (and would prefer down to individual atom control).

Bernie Sanders not paying minimum wageAt 14 minutes into MTP, Chuck Todd was interviewing Bernie Sanders on gun control violence safety (those Progressives, they certainly burn through words to advance (and then screw up) their issues, don’t they?)  makes the case that citizens should suffer because of the inadequacies of govt – the Charlestown “loophole”:

Another thing that’s going to come upon the issue of gun safety is the issue of a waiting period. The Clinton campaign is hitting you for supporting only a 3 day waiting period or instant background checks and not being in favor something longer like a 5 day or a 7 day window. And the reason why this is being brought up is that Dylan Roof, the man who killed those 9 folks in Charleston last year. If it had been a longer waiting period, he might have been prevented from buying a gun.

Progressives are trying to “tout” that they have discovered yet one more area where ordinary people can “take advantage” of the all-beneficent Government that only wants what’s best for us.  What Todd, what Bernie, what Hillary, what any anti-gunner does not want to admit,

IT’S NOT A LOOPHOLE!!

No, the backstory they want to bury is that the current NICS law is written is to favor the citizen and not Government.  If in 3 days, Government can’t find anything wrong with someone trying to buy a gun from a Federal Firearms Licensee (who MUST use the NICS system to do the background check), the purchase is allowed. This is what happened in the Charleston / Roof tragedy – GOVERNMENT FAILED TO DO ITS JOB.  This is not a “loophole” – this is a failure of a bureaucracy for whatever reason (and yes, one of Obama’s “executive actions” on gun control was to put out the word to hire 230 new agents to work in the NICS system – a tacit admission that Government was failing and, oops, it was undermanned).  Even the New York Time, probably with much gnashing of teeth, had to admit that this was human failure within the government (emphasis mine, reformatted):

WASHINGTON — The man accused of killing nine people in a historically black church in South Carolina last month was able to buy the gun used in the attack because of a breakdown in the federal gun background check system, the F.B.I. said Friday.  Despite having previously admitted to drug possession, the man, Dylann Roof, 21, was allowed to buy the .45-caliber handgun because of mistakes by F.B.I. agents, a failure by local prosecutors to respond to a bureau request for more information about his case, and a weakness in federal gun laws.  “We are all sick this happened,” said James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director. “We wish we could turn back time. From this vantage point, everything seems obvious.”

The authorities’ inability to prevent Mr. Roof from obtaining the weapon highlighted the continuing problems in the background check system, which was intended to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, drug users and mentally ill people. Despite new procedures and billions of dollars that have been spent on computer upgrades in the years after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the federal authorities still do not have a seamless way of examining Americans’ criminal histories that eliminates human error.

Human error – not a loophole.  Once again, we see Progressives having the hubris that they can absolutely control (with an iron fist) human behavior – and #FAIL at it.  But instead of understanding that they do not have sufficient knowledge to do so, they just keep doubling down by using “new” rules, “new” regulations, “new” laws, and above all, thinking they are the “new” people that will make their Progressive Heaven on Earth happen.

Unless we push back and fight it, they will.  How will we know when they reach it?

THey will have surrounded us all with iron bars.  Except, like in the Matrix, it’s “for the people” never understanding that Progressivism’s endpoint is a police state.

Socialists – they ALWAYS want to disarm the citizenry
