RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Sixty-seven relatives of people killed or wounded in the 2007 Virginia Tech shootings are asking the presidential candidates what they will do to improve a background check system designed to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people.
The family members sent a letter to President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney on Thursday. They say that five years after the Tech shootings, millions of mental health records are still missing from a national database of prohibited gun purchasers.
The Virginia Tech student who killed 32 people before killing himself passed two background checks to buy guns because Virginia state agencies never shared his mental health records with the database.
The family members say Virginia has drastically improved its reporting.
