The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) does not specifically check for medical marijuana use.

3 What is the Brady Bill?

The Brady Bill, officially known as the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, was enacted in 1993 and mandates background checks for firearm purchasers in the United States. Named after James Brady, who was severely injured during an assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan, the bill established a five-day waiting period for handgun purchases, allowing time for background checks to be conducted. It aimed to reduce gun violence by preventing individuals with criminal records or mental health issues from obtaining firearms. The waiting period was later replaced by the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).
