5. Well here we have...
...an instantiation of that ever popular internet phenomenon, the heap of semi-information.

But just to clear things up:

Virginia participates as a Point of Contact within the FBI's NICS. That means the Virginia Firearms Transaction Program© (VFTP) accesses records from the NCIC and data from the Virginia Criminal Records Exchange to provide to Virginia FFLs a near instant yea or nay to firearms transfers.

Virginia has elected to implement the Brady Program this way. It is Virginia Law. As I understand it, the Virginia Criminal Records Exchange is one of the best data sources in the country. These depositories are, however only as good as the information they receive. It is HERE where new funding is needed. County level court systems across the country may be slow or entirely derelict in the reporting of some adjudications to the state and federal data bases.
