Pretrial Gun Purchase Ban for Individuals with Court Orders

New rules aim to prevent individuals subject to a court order prohibiting firearm possession during pretrial release from purchasing guns. These changes will strengthen the background check system to ensure such individuals cannot legally acquire firearms, enhancing public safety.
Key points
Expanded Background Checks: Individuals under a court order prohibiting firearm possession during pretrial release will be denied gun purchases.
State Funding: Funds are authorized for states and Indian Tribes to report information about these pretrial orders to the national background check system (NICS).
