Missoulian: Gun control bill clears first hurdle in Senate
“Safe Communities, Safe Schools Act of 2013 - Amends
the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 (NICS Act), the Brady Handgun
Violence Prevention Act (Brady Act), the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets
Act of 1968, and the federal criminal code to require background checks for all
firearm sales, prohibit straw purchases of firearms, and expand the school
safety grant program.
Fix Gun Checks Act of 2013 - Amends the NICS Act to
eliminate from the records concerning persons who are prohibited from
possessing or receiving a firearm, about which a state must submit estimates to
the Attorney General for purposes of the National Instant Criminal Background
Check System: (1) a record that identifies a person for whom an indictment has
been returned for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one
year or who is a fugitive from justice and for which a record of final
disposition is not available; and (2) a record that identifies a person who is
an unlawful user of, or addicted to, a controlled substance. Directs the
Attorney General to establish the applicable time period for the occurrence of
events which would disqualify a person from possessing a firearm (currently,
within the prior 20 years) in pertinent records…” CRS Summery
