People accused of domestic violence.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nIs a criminal check necessary to get a gun?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Pursuant to federal law, criminal and background checks are required in order to purchase firearms. This is required by the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verification is done through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). The process can be carried out by phone or internet and offers an almost immediate response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But if a person makes a private sale of a gun and not through a licensed dealer, the Brady Act doesn’t explain what to do in those cases. So, the need for criminal history does not apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The information returned by this verification is protected and is not saved. Due to the Firearm Owners\u2019 Protection Act of 1986, FOPA. This is a federal law that does not allow the national or state government to preserve personal information linking gun owners to their guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
States and gun control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Although there are several federal laws that regulate the purchase and possession of weapons in the United States, the states also have their own. And federal law cannot eliminate them. This makes the regulation process less uniform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, only:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n- 8 states require a gun to be registered: California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Washington.<\/li>
- 13 states require a permit to purchase a gun: California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Iowa, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota and Rhode Island.<\/li>
- 5 states prohibit freely carrying a firearm in a public place: California, Florida, Illinois, South Carolina, New York, and the District of Columbia.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
