Seung-Hui Cho, the mentally disturbed young man who fired more than 100 rounds into the bodies of the 32 people he killed, had an unimpeded path to the infamy he earned last week on the campus of Virginia Tech University. Although a judge ruled in 2005 that Cho was mentally ill and ordered him to seek treatment, and federal law prohibits any person "adjudicated as a mental defective" from buying firearms, Cho's name was not on the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Virginia officials followed a state law that says a person has to be committed to an institution before being prohibited from buying a gun.

Six years ago, Farron Barksdale, who had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and had been ruled by the country probate judge on five separate occasions to be a danger to himself and others, was able to purchase a rifle and committed a crime. Since the gun check through the National Instant Criminal Background Check (NICS) failed to provide any disqualifying information because state law at that time did not permit the state to share its mental health records with the FBI. This incident reveals the major shortcoming of the national firearm background check system. Here, Atta outlines some of the major developments that have impacted the NICS operation since its inception.
