COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) – Two of South Carolina representatives in Washington are calling for a fix to the “Charleston loophole”.

Representatives Jim Clyburn and Joe Cunningham held a news conference this morning at Emanuel AME Church.

Less than three years ago a man killed nine people there with a legally purchased gun.

Clyburn and Cunningham say if the FBI had more time to complete background checks that tragedy could have been prevented.
