Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends the Gun Control Act and Brady Act to treat certain pretrial release orders that prohibit firearm possession as a disqualifier in NICS background checks for purchases, and provides funding to improve reporting of such orders. This expands the scope of who is blocked from buying firearms via background checks.
