The Richmond Times Dispatch:

A new state law designed to expand background checks at Virginia gun shows has resulted in only one person being denied the purchase of a weapon at 41 weekend events during the first six months of the initiative, which required $300,000 in funding to hire three new state police employees.

Time, expense and added bureaucracy for that. And the one guy who got busted apparently wasn’t too bright:

A 21-year-old Richmond man tried to purchase a firearm from a private seller at a gun show at the Richmond International Raceway complex Nov. 12-13. But when he agreed to undergo a voluntary background check at the sellers request, he was denied because he had an outstanding felony warrant for his arrest from Richmond, state police said. Troopers immediately took him into custody.
