Government Fumbled Dylan Roof’s Background Check, Now Argues For Mercy

About this video

Colion examines the Biden administration’s reported clemency recommendation for Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof, contrasting it with the government’s background check failure that Colion argues allowed Roof to obtain a firearm in the first place. He criticizes what he characterizes as the administration’s sympathy for the perpetrator over victims and gun owners, arguing this demonstrates why individuals must be their own first responders rather than relying on government systems.

Key takeaways

• Colion reports that Biden’s pardon attorney recommended clemency for all federal death row inmates, including Dylann Roof, citing ‘anxiety’ despite acknowledging Roof wasn’t a compelling candidate
• Colion highlights that the FBI’s background check system failed in the Roof case when an examiner called the wrong agency and missed a disqualifying drug admission
• Colion argues the same government that failed to prevent Roof from obtaining a gun later showed more concern for the shooter than for victims or law-abiding gun owners, reinforcing his position that individuals must be responsible for their own defense
