Virginia Tech Families Praise Congress For Strengthening Brady Background Checks, Urge President To Sign The Legislation I'm confused.. I guess i'll have to dive into this one.
Short story...  The families didn't do their research.

Trusting Congress to serve their needs was their first mistake though....
There is probably more about it. I havent had a chance to look for "longer" stories. I'm not going to assume that families that lost loved ones didn't research. They have more motivation to investigate than anyone of us.. that for damn sure.
How many of the relatives of victims of 9/11 did the research as to where the money going to the Red Cross for their sake went?  Not many.  It wasn't until a few years later that we discovered some embezzling and "creative" investment.

Still, I'll give credit to Bush on the VA Tech taxation thing.  It was an easy move to make, but it deserves some respect.
