Washington, D.C. (EFE).&mdash; Un comit&eacute; creado por el presidente de Estados Unidos, George W. Bush, para estudiar la matanza en la Universidad virginia tech recomend&oacute; ayer controlar mejor a las &quot;personas peligrosas&quot;, pero no pidi&oacute; endurecer las leyes para restringir el acceso a las armas. <br />
<br />
El informe dice que todos los estados deber&iacute;an enviar los datos de personas que no pueden poseer armas por problemas mentales a una lista nacional de la Oficina Federal de Investigaciones (FBI) denominada Sistema de Comprobaci&oacute;n Inmediata de Antecedentes Penales (NICS). <br />
<br />
Actualmente, s&oacute;lo 23 de los 50 estados del pa&iacute;s env&iacute;an esa informaci&oacute;n. <br />
<br />
El estado de Virginia no envi&oacute; al NICS los datos de Cho Seung-Hui, un estudiante coreano de 23 a&ntilde;os que hab&iacute;a sido sometido a tratamiento psiqui&aacute;trico. <br />
<br />
Sus problemas mentales deber&iacute;an haberle impedido comprar las dos armas que us&oacute; para matar en abril a 32 estudiantes y profesores en la Universidad Polit&eacute;cnica, pero Cho pudo adquirirlas legalmente porque su nombre no estaba en esa lista nacional. <br />
<br />
La C&aacute;mara de Representantes de EU aprob&oacute; ayer un proyecto de ley que obligar&iacute;a a los estados a pasar al FBI de forma autom&aacute;tica los nombres de personas como Cho. <br />
<br />
El informe, elaborado por los secretarios de Salud, Michael Leavitt, y Educaci&oacute;n, Margaret Spellings, as&iacute; como el fiscal general, Alberto Gonzales, tambi&eacute;n se&ntilde;ala que existe &quot;confusi&oacute;n sobre las leyes que regulan el intercambio de informaci&oacute;n&quot; respecto de personas que pueden ser un peligro. <br />
<br />
El comit&eacute; concluye que profesores, administraciones e instituciones no tienen claro cu&aacute;ndo pueden o deben alertar a las autoridades sobre estas personas para impedir que tengan acceso a armas. <br />
<br />
&quot;Este miedo y malos entendidos probablemente limitan la transferencia de informaci&oacute;n&quot;, se explica en el documento. <br />
<br />
Asimismo, el comit&eacute; recomienda poner en marcha programas para instruir a padres, alumnos y profesores sobre los signos de que una persona sufre desequilibrios mentales que le pueden llevar a la violencia. <br />
<br />
Adem&aacute;s, insta a mejorar los servicios m&eacute;dicos para estudiantes que padecen enfermedades mentales. <br />
<br />
Por &uacute;ltimo, plantea que los planes para responder a emergencias a nivel local y estatal tengan en cuenta las necesidades de los centros educativos, y que los cuerpos de seguridad de las escuelas colaboren de forma m&aacute;s estrecha con la polic&iacute;a. <br />
<br />
El informe no habla en ning&uacute;n momento, sin embargo, de la necesidad de endurecer las leyes para restringir el acceso a las armas en general, en un pa&iacute;s donde sus ciudadanos poseen m&aacute;s de 200 millones de armas de fuego. <br />
<br />
En Virginia, por ejemplo, cualquier persona que no tenga un historial criminal puede comprar legalmente un arma por mes. <br />
<br />
Otras matanzas han sido cometidas por personas que no hab&iacute;an sido tratadas por problemas mentales, como por ejemplo la ocurrida en 1999 en la escuela secundaria de Columbine, en la que murieron 14 estudiantes y un profesor.<br />

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;June 13, 2007&lt;/b&gt;<br />
&lt;/p&gt;<br />
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;We reflect on what has been lost and comfort those enduring a profound grief. And somehow we know that a brighter morning will come. We know this because together Americans have overcome many evils and found strength through many storms.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br />
&lt;blockquote&gt;-President George W. Bush&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br />

&lt;p&gt;The President&lt;br /&gt;<br />
The White House&lt;br/&gt;<br />
Washington, D.C. 20500&lt;/p&gt;<br />
&lt;p&gt;Dear Mr. President:&lt;/p&gt;<br />
&lt;p&gt;In the wake of the Virginia Tech tragedy, you charged us to travel to communities across our Nation to meet with a wide range of leaders on the broader issues raised by this tragedy, and to report back to you what we learned, together with our recommendations for how the Federal government can help avoid such tragedies in the future. The enclosed report summarizes our findings and provides our recommendations developed through discussions with educators, mental health experts, law enforcement and other key state and local officials from more than a dozen states.&lt;/p&gt;<br />
&lt;p&gt;We found great commonality in the themes that emerged from our meetings. Following the Virginia Tech tragedy and similar incidents of violence that have occurred in recent years, states and local communities are carefully considering whether they have properly addressed and balanced the fundamental interests of privacy and individual freedom, safety and security, and assisting those with mental health needs in getting appropriate care. Although state and local leaders recognized and underscored that these issues primarily must be resolved at the state and local level, these events make all of us ask whether there is more we can and should be doing.&lt;/p&gt;<br />
&lt;p&gt;As we note in our report, our recommendations are not a panacea. Rather, along with identifying steps that we can take, the report serves to focus our attention on the issues that must be part of the ongoing national dialogue as we continue to protect the freedoms we enjoy in our society, while appropriately minimizing risks to public safety.&lt;/p&gt;<br />
&lt;p&gt;We look forward to continuing our collaboration on the Federal level, as well as with states and localities, in our ongoing efforts to address these fundamental issues and take concrete steps to promote the well being and safety of all Americans.&lt;/p&gt;<br />
&lt;p&gt;Sincerely,&lt;/p&gt;<br />
