Requires states to report more gun background check data to federal database.
The problem
The federal background check system (NICS) has gaps in data from states, making it harder to prevent prohibited people from buying guns.
The proposal
The bill mandates states report disqualifying records like felony convictions and domestic violence cases to the national background check database.
The impact
Gun purchasers may face longer delays; states must fund reporting systems; law enforcement gets better information; public safety may improve.
Better data helps background checkers catch people who shouldn't buy firearms, like convicted felons or abusers. This could prevent some gun violence.
Federal law already says certain people can't buy guns. This bill just makes sure states actually report those people to the system so the law works.
Studies show many background check denials are missed because state data never reaches the federal database. This directly fixes that gap.
States must build or improve computer systems to report this data. Small states may struggle to afford these upgrades. Costs could be millions per state.
More data to check means background checks could take longer. Gun buyers may wait days or weeks instead of hours to complete purchases.
Sharing more personal records in a federal database raises questions about how that data is protected and who can access it.
Better data helps only with background checks. It won't stop illegal gun sales or address other causes of gun violence.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
