Comprehensive Background Check Act

The Comprehensive Background Check Act aims to enhance gun safety by requiring background checks for all firearm purchases in the United States, including private sales and transfers. This legislation seeks to close loopholes that allow individuals to buy guns without proper scrutiny, ensuring that those with criminal records or serious mental health issues cannot easily access firearms. By implementing thorough checks, the Act strives to reduce gun violence and promote responsible gun ownership while balancing the rights of law-abiding citizens to purchase and possess firearms.
