Much of what this thread revolves around is the issue of mental health. Until the Feds require that states report the names of those adjudicated as having a mental illness, background checks are missing a major piece of information. The form one fills out asks the individual wishing to purchase a gun if they have a history of mental illness - self reporting doesn't work if someone wishes to ignore and falsely report that response.
