rmation about lost and stolen guns and establishing emergency plans 
for schools. Those measures were among the 23 executive actions the president 
signed in January when he announced his broader push for tighter gun 
laws in response to a mass shooting of first-graders and staff at 
Newtown, Conn.'s Sandy Hook Elementary School.The Health and Human Services 
Department on Friday was beginning to ask for public comment on how 
the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, passed by Congress 
in 1996 and known as HIPAA, is preventing some states from reporting 
to the background check system and how to address the problem. Under 
HIPAA, health care providers such as hospitals may release limited information 
to police, but only in certain circumstances such as when a court 
is involved.Since 1968, federal law has banned the sale of guns to 
those who have been deemed a danger to themselves or others, involuntarily 
committed or judged not guilty by reason of insanity or incompetent to 
stand trial. The background check system -- which is also used to 
prevent convicted felons from buying guns -- was established under the 1993 
Brady Bill.A few state agencies shared mental health records voluntarily 
for years, but the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007 spurred passage of 
legislation that required states to submit the records or eventually risk 
losing up to 5 percent of the federal funding they receive to 
fight crime.Last year's review by the Gover

past has distanced Chechnya from Chechens linked to terrorism, underlined 
that the Chechen people cannot be blamed for the tragic bombing. "The 
roots of this evil should (be) looked for in the U.S." he 
wrote on his Instagram account , pointing out that the Tsarnaev brothers 
had lived in the U.S. for many years and "their worldview was 
formed there."Chechnya, Dagestan and the other North Caucasus republics 
have been a breeding ground for terror groups since the first Chechen 
war, and local militants have staged many attacks in Russia.Russian President 
Vladimir Putindid not immediately respond to the latest developments. But 
heoffered to help the U.S. investigate the Boston bombings shortly after 
they occurred, and on Thursday, he called the attacks, disgusting.Click
