Virginia Background Checks for Gun Purchases Challenged as Redundant

The National Rifle Association and the Virginia Citizens Defense League are lobbying Gov. Bob McDonald to get rid of Virginia's separate Background checks for citizens who purchase firearms.  In Virginia, a citizen must pass two completely separate background checks before he or she may purchase a firearm.  As in any other state, a Virginia citizen must be cleared by the FBI-administered National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) before purchasing a firearm.  Then, the citizen must be cleared by Virginia's own background check system.  Citing this redundancy, gun-rights advocates want the state system repealed.
