Now it comes out that the NIU guy was both in a psychiatric facility, released from the military for psychiatric reasons and known to go off his meds. Yet he had no problems getting a gun license or purchasing weapons. From this article: http://news.aol.com/story/_a/gunmans...14171009990001
"A former employee at a Chicago psychiatric treatment center said Kazmierczak was placed there after high school by his parents. She said he used to cut himself, and had resisted taking his medications.
He also had a short-lived stint as a prison guard that ended abruptly when he didn't show up for work. He was in the Army for about six months in 2001-02, but he told a friend he'd gotten a psychological discharge."

I totally agree.
I have never owned or tried to obtain a gun, so I don't know what kind of background check is done, but based on some things we've read about recently, it is not doing the job!
It's scary how easily people can buy guns.
