Newsweek -- When Cho bought the guns, he had to answer the following question on Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Form 4473: “Have you ever been adjudicated mentally defective or … committed to a mental institution?” Cho answered “no.”

According to court records that surfaced Wednesday, April 18, Cho had begun to show clear signs of mental instability long before he bought the guns. A Virginia magistrate issued a temporary detention order for Cho in December 2005.

Asked if Virginia should have submitted a record of the Temporary Detention Order on Cho to the bureau, Bresson responded: "We rely on the state to submit the data to us. We don't interpret the law. All we're doing is providing a database for them." Still, Bresson added, "based on what we now know, it would seem that it would have been a record that should have been in the NICS.”

Т.е. это всю жизнь был официальный сумасшедший со справкой, и никакого разрешения на покупку оружия ему выдавать не должны были.

Ага, следствие такое: а я вот тут вам государство построило, и никакого права на самозащиту у вас нету. И такой вам устрою внутри контроль, мало не покажется. )))))))
