When will Obama publicly take responsibility for the Fed's errors that allowed the shooter to get a gun, even though he was not eligible under existing laws?

We will see what a 30 day investigation determines. If it was an error in the Government system, will Obama put the blame on Government incompetence?

From review...

FBI boss says gun check breakdown allowed Dylann Roof to buy weapon

Charleston gunman Dylann Roof should never have been been able to buy the gun he used to kill nine worshippers at a church Bible study last month, the FBI director said Friday, citing a breakdown in the national background check system.

A loophole allowed the 21-year-old to buy the .45-caliber handgun with money given to him for his birthday despite a criminal record that included a recent drug possession charge, James Comey said.

The FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System, which does instant background checks for 30 states, should have flagged Roof on April 11, when he went to a West Columbia gun shop to guy the firearm, Comey said. But because of a series of errors, including one on Roof's rap sheet, the examiner performing the check on Roof did not know he had admitted to drug possession in a March 1 incident, which should have rendered him an "unlawful user" ineligible to purchase the gun.
