Abstract: In November 1993, the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention
Act of 1993 (Brady Act) Public Law 103-159, was signed into law and
required federal firearms licensees (FFL) to request background checks
on individuals attempting to purchase or receive a firearm. The
permanent provisions of the Brady Act, which went into effect on
November 30, 1998, required the United States Attorney General to
establish a NICS that FFLs may contact by telephone, or other
electronic means in addition to telephone for information to be
supplied immediately on whether the receipt of a firearm by a
prospective transferee would violate Section 922 (g) or (n) of Title
18, United States Code, or state law. There are additional authorized
uses of NICS found at Title 28, CFR 25.6(j). The FBI authorized CJAs to
initiate a NICS background check to assist their transfer of firearms
to private individuals as a change to 28 CFR 25.6(j) in the Federal
Register.
