Antes tarde que nunca! Bush assina legislacao para controle e armas!

Como diz o ditado popular 'antes tarde que nunca'. Os EUA foram dos principais responsaveis pelo colapso da Conferencia das Nacoes Unidas sobre Armas Pequenas e de Pequeno Porte em Nova York em 2006! Apesar de tarde Bush acaba marcando o golo de consolacao! Oxala que nos 12 meses que restam consiga remediar alguns dos erros que comete ao longo dos dois mandatos!

Viva a democracia!

Um abraco,

The US President signed legislation requiring the state governments to
provide the National Instant Check System (NICS) with the names of all
convicted criminals and people declared by a court to be mentally ill.
This means gun dealers will be able to perform instant background checks
on customers seeking to purchase firearms. Convicted criminals and
individuals who have been certified mentally ill are prohibited from
purchasing guns under US law. The problem of missing records was
highlighted in April 2007, when the Virginia Tech gunman's name was
absent from the database, despite his history of mental illness. The
NICS Improvement Act was passed unanimously through Congress in December
2007 and was signed by President Bush on 8 January 2008.
