Expands the list of people to whom firearm sales are prohibited under 18 USC 922(d) by adding those convicted of a violent misdemeanor in the past 5 years, and updates the NICS background check system to enforce this new prohibition, so fewer people can legally buy firearms.
Section 922(d) of title 18, United States Code, is amended in the 1st sentence-- ... by adding at the end the following: ``(12) has been convicted in any court of a violent misdemeanor within the preceding 5 years.''.

Creates a new federal definition of 'violent misdemeanor' for purposes of the expanded 922(d) prohibition on firearm sales, with due-process safeguards for convictions and exceptions for expunged or pardoned convictions, while preserving existing domestic-violence prohibitions and not limiting state

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands federal prohibitions on firearm sales (and corresponding NICS background checks) to cover recent violent-misdemeanor convictions, which restricts the firearms axis. It also adds a statutory definition of that term and makes conforming updates to other statutes, but these are technical and do not independently change the scope of who may buy firearms; the rule of construction expressly preserves existing law and state authority.
