How could it be someone like Alice Boland pleads 'Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity' but is able to pass a background check and buy a gun?

Alice Boland, who had a long history of mental illness, was able to pass a background check and legally buy a gun. http://t.co/m2uFWquF

Graham is right. If our background check system doesn’t flag mentally ill people like Alice Boland and Virginia Tech shooter Seung-Hui Cho, something is profoundly wrong.
Instead of passing new gun control restrictions, perhaps Congress should take steps to ensure that our current laws are implemented properly.
