The Virginia Center for Public Safety reports the NRA wants
to scrap a Virginia database that is state-of-the-art and second to none in the
nation. The National Rifle Assn. is calling on its members to help repeal the
1989 law, the Virginia Firearms Transaction Program (VFTP). The VFTP
works along with the FBI’s National Instant Background Checks System
(NICS) to check the background of those purchasing firearms in the Commonwealth
of Virginia. This helps catch those people not eligible to purchase firearms
like felons and the mentally ill. And the point is it works much better
than NICS. So why would anyone want to get rid of it? Only a bunch of morons
that value their stupid gun rights over the lives of innocent people.
ThinkProgress details how the Bush administration proposedlegislation requiring states to share mental health history. It was passed by
Congress but not until after the NRA watered it down significantly. The final
bill set up restoration programs for the mentally ill, in effect to put guns
back into their hands. And the definition for "mental defect" was
narrowed to make it easier for this person to get his or her gun back. It's the
typical NRA gun-running philosophy to keep putting more weapons on the street.
Which means gun manufacturers sell more and give more money to the NRA.
