Here in Va you go through a background check paid by the buyer, in the case of Va Tech, humans let that slip through.
Ft. Hood, that was an army officer, a psychiatrist, no less. Army folks are not allowed to carry on post. Didn't stop the nut job from trying to rid the world of infidels and the U. S. Army.

In VA, what is the nature of the background check and how much does it cost?
I'm subject to "real" background checks that take several weeks, involve interviews with plenty of people, criminal checks, credit checks, random drug screening, periodic psychological screenings, etc. I don't know what it costs, but I suspect it is more than the average gun buyer would be willing to pay. The term "background check" can mean many things.
