(CNN) -- When Cho Seung-Hui purchased two handguns this year, he
apparently followed the letter of the law to get the weapons he
eventually used in a shooting rampage on the Virginia Tech campus.
Some questions have been raised over Cho's mental health and whether
that should have prevented him from being able to purchase the
handguns.
