Was Dylan Roof really convicted of a felony?

Well, this might be something. How did everyone miss this?

No, he was only arrested. What hasn't been determined in the press noise is whether he was actually indicted. If he was under indictment, the check should have failed.

I don't know that indictments are put into NICS. I think he just lied on the 4473 when it asked that question.

BTW, SCOTUS has ruled it's against a criminal's 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination to have to answer the 4473 honestly.

Either way, the background check failed.
